An automobile manufacturer is concerned about a fault in the braking mechanism of a particular model. The fault can, on rare occasions, cause a catastrophe at high speed. The distribution of the number of cars per year that will experience the catastrophe is a random variable with variance = 5.
a) What is the probability that at most 3 cars per year will experience a catastrophe?
b) What is the probability that more than 1 car per year will experience a catastrophe?

(a) Probability that at most 3 cars per year will experience a catastrophe is 0.2650.
(b) Probability that more than 1 car per year will experience a catastrophe is 0.9596.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the distribution of the number of cars per year that will experience the catastrophe is a Poisson random variable with variance = 5.
Let X = the number of cars per year that will experience the catastrophe
SO, X ~ Poisson()
The probability distribution for Poisson random variable is given by;
where, = Poisson parameter = 5 {because variance of Poisson distribution is only}
(a) Probability that at most 3 cars per year will experience a catastrophe is given by = P(X 3)
P(X 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)
=
=
= 0.2650
(b) Probability that more than 1 car per year will experience a catastrophe is given by = P(X > 1)
P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X 1)
= 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1)
=
= 1 - 0.00674 - 0.03369
= 0.9596
