Question

Let X be the number of material anomalies occurring in a particular region of an aircraft gas-turbine disk. The article "Methodology for Probabilistic Life Prediction of Multiple-Anomaly Materials"† proposes a Poisson distribution for X. Suppose that ? = 4. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

(a) Compute both P(X ≤ 4) and P(X < 4).

(b) Compute P(4 ≤ X ≤ 7).

(c) Compute P(7 ≤ X).

(d) What is the probability that the number of anomalies does not exceed the mean value by more than one standard deviation?
