Q21 — Probability of Customer Arrivals(顾客到达的概率)

Question (EN):
A small café receives an average of 5 customers every 10 minutes during the morning rush.
Assuming customer arrivals follow a Poisson distribution, calculate the following:

  1. The probability that exactly 3 customers arrive in 10 minutes.
  2. The probability that at most 3 customers arrive in 10 minutes.
  3. Interpret the business meaning of your results.

Q22 — Product Defect Rate in Production(二项分布中的产品次品率)

Question (EN):
A factory produces electronic components with a defect rate of 4%.
If 10 items are selected at random for inspection, find:

  1. The probability that exactly one item is defective.
  2. The probability that no more than one item is defective.
  3. Interpret the business implication for quality control.

Q23 — Calls at a Customer Service Center(泊松分布中的客服来电量)

Question (EN):
A customer service center receives an average of 12 calls per hour.
Assuming the number of calls follows a Poisson distribution, compute:

  1. The probability of receiving exactly 15 calls in one hour.
  2. The probability of receiving at most 10 calls in one hour.
  3. Provide a managerial interpretation.

Q24 — Machine Failure Probability in Two Factories(双工厂机器故障的二项分布概率)

Question (EN):
Two factories, A and B, produce the same type of machine.

  • Factory A’s defect rate is 8%, while Factory B’s is 5%.
  • Each factory ships 20 machines.
    Find:
  1. The probability that exactly 3 machines from Factory A are defective.
  2. The probability that at most 2 machines from Factory B are defective.
  3. The probability that the total number of defective machines from both factories is no more than 5 (assume independence).

Q25 — Network Outages During Peak Hours(高峰时段网络故障的泊松分布概率)

Question (EN):
During peak hours, an internet service provider experiences an average of 4 network outages per hour.
Assuming outages follow a Poisson process, determine:

  1. The probability that exactly 6 outages occur in an hour.
  2. The probability that more than 6 outages occur in an hour.
  3. The probability that no more than 2 outages occur in 30 minutes.
  4. Interpret the operational meaning of your results.
