PROBABILITY

Computations for this are required. Simply providing the answers will not be credited.

The number of runway incursions is known to follow the binomial distribution. At a particular airport, the probability that a runway incursion will occur is 0.000002, or equivalently, a rate of 2 incursions per million operations (where ‘operations’ correspond to the number of take-offs and landings).

(a) Calculate the probability that there will be exactly 5 incursions in 2,000,000 operations. (b) If you were to interpret the given rate of 2 incursions per million operations as a failure rate, does the airport pass the 6-sigma requirement? Explain.
