The National Safety Council (NSC) estimates that off-the-job accidents cost U.S. businesses almost $200 billion annually in lost productivity (National Safety Council, March 2006). Based on NSC estimates, companies with 50 employees are expected to average three employee off-the-job accidents per year. Answer the following questions for companies with 50 employees.a. What is the probability of no off-the-job accidents during a one-year period (to 4 decimals)?b. What is the probability of at least two off-the-job accidents during a one-year period (to 4 decimals)?c. What is the expected number of off-the-job accidents during six months (to 1 decimal)?d. What is the probability of no off-the-job accidents during the next six months (to 4 decimals)?

a. 0.0498 = 4.98% probability of no off-the-job accidents during a one-year period
b. 0.8008 = 80.08% probability of at least two off-the-job accidents during a one-year period.
c. The expected number of off-the-job accidents during six months is 1.5.
d. 0.2231 = 22.31% probability of no off-the-job accidents during the next six months.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the mean during a period, so we use the Poisson distribution.
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given interval.
Companies with 50 employees are expected to average three employee off-the-job accidents per year.
This means that , in which n is the number of years.
a. What is the probability of no off-the-job accidents during a one-year period (to 4 decimals)?
This is when . So
0.0498 = 4.98% probability of no off-the-job accidents during a one-year period.
b. What is the probability of at least two off-the-job accidents during a one-year period (to 4 decimals)?
Either there are less than two accidents, or there are at least two. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So
We want . Then
In which
0.8008 = 80.08% probability of at least two off-the-job accidents during a one-year period.
c. What is the expected number of off-the-job accidents during six months (to 1 decimal)?
6 months is half a year, so
The expected number of off-the-job accidents during six months is 1.5.
d. What is the probability of no off-the-job accidents during the next six months (to 4 decimals)?
This is P(X = 0) when . So
0.2231 = 22.31% probability of no off-the-job accidents during the next six months.
