Question

The Dynaco Manufactuing company produces a product in a process consisting of operations of 5 machines. The probability distribution of the nbumber of machines that will break down in a week follows:

Machine Breakdowns per week                          Probability

0                                                                             0.10

1                                                                               0.20

2                                                                              0.15

3                                                                               0.30

4                                                                               0.15

5                                                                                0.10

a. Simulate the machine breakdowns per week for 20 weeks.

b. Compute the average number of machines that will breakdown per week

Explanation / Answer

a) Simulate the machine breakdowns per week for 20 weeks.

Machine break downs per week: 2 1 2 3 3 1 3 4 1 3 0 1 1 1 1 1 3 2 1 1            Using simulation

b)

Descriptive Statistics: machine breakdowns

          Total                         Sum of
Variable Count   Mean StDev     Sum Squares
Sample       20 1.750 1.070 35.000   83.000

As per ouput,

Mean = 35/20 = 1.75 breakdown per week
