Question

1. A piece of equipment has a failure rate of 10 failures per million hours, and is run for

1000 hours.

What is the probability that the one piece of equipment will survive that 1000

hours?

Three (3) of these pieces of equipment are each run for 1000 hours.

For the 3 pieces of equipment, use the Binomial equation to calculate:

The probability of zero (0) failures.

The probability of one (1) failure.

The probability more than one (>1) failure.
