You can put this solution on YOUR website! the probability of failing the test is 1 -0.97 = 0.03
:
Use Poisson probability distribution
:
The probability that there are
r occurrences in a given interval = lamda^r * e^-lamda / r!, where e = 2.7128 and lamda is the mean number of occurrences in a time period
:
use a Poisson distribution calculation
:
P( X > or = 7 ) = 9.9E^-13
