Consider writing onto a computer disk and then sending it through a certifier that counts the number of missing pulses. Suppose this number X has a Poisson distribution with parameter λ=.2. (Suggested in "Average Sample Number for Semi Curtailed Sampling Using the Poisson Distribution," J. Quality Technology, 1983: 126-129.) a. What is the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse? b. What is the probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses? c. If two disks are independently selected, what is the probability that neither contains a missing pulse?
