Contamination is a problem in the manufacture of optical storage disks. The number of particles of contamination that occur on an optical disk has a Poisson distribution, and the average number of particles per square centimeter of media surface is 0.1. The area of a disk under study is 100 cm2. Find the probability more than 12 particles occur in the area of a disk under study.

The probability that more than 12 particles occur in the area of a disk under the study is 0.20844.

The number of particles follows a Poisson Distribution.

A Poisson Distribution over a variable X, having a mean λ, has a probability for a random variable x as  [tex]P(X = x) = e^{-\lambda} \frac{\lambda^{x}}{x!}[/tex] .

In the question, x = 12.

λ = 100*0.1 = 10.

To find : P(X > 12)

P(X > 12) = 1 - P(X ≤ 12) = 1 - poissoncdf(10,12)

As to find the probability of a Poisson Distribution P(X ≤ x), for a mean = λ, we use the calculator function poissoncdf(λ,x).

Therefore, P(X > 12) = 1 - 0.79156 = 0.20844.

Therefore, the probability that more than 12 particles occur in the area of a disk under the study is 0.20844.
