Probability of a machine lasting X days
A new machine arrives in a factory. This type of machine is very unreliable: every day, it has a 10% chance of breaking permanently. How long would you expect it to last?
Notice that this is described by the cumulative distribution of the geometric distribution, and therefore the pgeom() function. pgeom(X, .1) would describe the probability that there are X working days before the day it breaks (that is, that it breaks on day X + 1).
