Hi guys, could anyone solve this problem in detail? I'm struggling with part a and b
I wish I didn't suck balls at math but I do.
I'm even worse now because I'm drinking. I know you need a formula, just trying to figure it out.
Failure rate is 2% of 200,000 because you are thinking in multiples of two. Both generators splitting the load of 100,000 hours means each one is going to be doing 50,000 hours of work.
50,000 is half of 100,000 so .5 % per generator. 1% between the two failure rate. Probability is 99% they will both be working? I'm rambling and hoping I'm right but seriously I am drinking so that's the only reason I have the patience to waste my time on this math shit. Maybe this can guide you a bit though.

Yeah, I know. I'd like to know the answer too though to see how close I was.

are you expected to know what a Poisson distribution is

Yes
