Question:

An electronic switching device occasionally malfunctions and may need to be replaced. It is known that the device is satisfactory if it makes, on the average, no more than 0.20 error per hour. A particular 5-hour period is chosen as a "test" on the device. If no more than 1 error occurs, the device is considered satisfactory.

(a) What is the probability that a satisfactory device will be considered unsatisfactory on the basis of the rest? Assume that a Poisson process exists.

(b) What is the probability that a device will be accepted as satisfactory when, in fact, the mean number of errors is 0.25? Again, assume that a Poisson process exists.
