What is the use of the poisson distribution in this exercise when the question seems to have no relation

30 Views Asked by At

In one exercise they give me 1) The probability function of having k failures in a machine: $$P_k=\dfrac{1}{ek!}\\$$ where $$k=1,2,3,... (infinity)\\$$ 2) The probability that the machine stop working having k failures: $$1-\left(\dfrac{1}2\right)^k\\$$ (here they dont give me a $$P_k=\\$$)

And then, they ask the question: What is the probability that the machine wont stop working?

For me solution is a simple SumP(X=x)=1, then $$1-\left(1-\left(\dfrac{1}2\right)^k\right)\\$$ and the final solution is $$\left(\dfrac{1}2\right)^k\\$$

I dont understand why I need the first poisson probability distribution.

Thanks for your time and help.

What you need to sum is the probability of $k$ failures times the probability that the machine stops given $k$ failures. The final solution cannot depend on $k$. The chance the machine stops is then $$\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac 1{ek!}\left(1-\frac 1{2^k}\right)$$ and you need to evaluate the sum.
