Question 1184337: A certain kind of sheet metal has, on average, 4 defects per 18 square feet.
Assuming a Poisson distribution, find the probability that a 33 square foot metal sheet has at least 5 defects. Round your answer to three decimal places. Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If there are on average 4 defects per 18 square feet, then we expect to have 22/3 defects in 33 square feet of metal sheet. So
===>
===>
Now you should be able to carry out the necessary calculation.
