Question 872097: Suppose that an automobile parts wholesaler claims that .5 percent of the car batteries in a shipment are defective. A random sample of 200 batteries is taken, and four are found to be defective.
(a) Use the Poisson approximation to find the probability that four or more car batteries in a random sample of 200 such batteries would be found to be defective, if we assume that the wholesaler's claim is true. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Poisson deals with an average: = 1 being the average clamed
P(x ≥ 4) = 1 - poissoncdf(1,3) = .019 0r 1.9%
