Answer:
The standard deviation for the number of bags that are underfilled is 2.236.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval. The variance is the same as the mean, which mean that the standard deviation is the square root of the mean.
In this question:
Expected number of underfilled bags in a sample of n bags is:
[tex]\mu = 0.005*n[/tex]
1000 bags, so
[tex]\mu = 0.005*1000 = 5[/tex]
Standard deviation [tex]S = \sqrt{5} = 2.236[/tex]
The standard deviation for the number of bags that are underfilled is 2.236.
