The probability that a customer of a network operator has a problem about you needing technical staff's help in a month is 0.01. This operator installs internet for 500 households in a residential area a, Calculate the average number of households in this residential area having internet problems in a certain month b, Calculate the probability that in 6 consecutive months there is only one month that no customer in this area has a network problem that needs the help of technical staff​

(a) average calls = 5  

(b) probability that there is exactly one call in 6 consecutive monts = 0.038

Step-by-step explanation:

Let event of a customer requiring help in a particular month = H

and event of a customer not requiring help in a particular month = ~H

Given

p= 0.01,  therefore

Number of households, n = 500.

Binomial distribution:

x = number of households requiring help in a particular month

P(x,n,p) = C(x,n)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where

C(x,n) = n!/(x!(n-x)!) is the the number of combinations of x objects out of n

(a) Average number of households requiring help = np = 500*0.01 = 5

(b)

Probability that there are no calls requiring help in a particular month

P(0), q= C(0,n)*p^0(1-p)^(n-0)

= 1*1*0.99^500

= 0.006570483

Applying binomial probability over six months,

q = 0.006570483

n = 6

x = 1

P(x,n,q)

= C(x,n)*q^x*(1-q)^(n-x)

= 6!/(1!*5!) * 0.006570483^1 * (1-0.006570483)^5

= 0.038145

Therefore the probability that in 6 consecutive months there is exactly one month that no customer has called for help = 0.038

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
