Question

Find each probability P(X; λ) using Table C in Appendix A.

a. P(10; 7)

b. P(9; 8)

c. P(3; 4)

 

Data from in Table C Appendix A

 

Answer 1

a)

Obtain the probability P(X; λ) when P(10;7) by using Table C in Appendix A.

From the “Appendix A Table C, The Poisson Distribution”, the probability P(10;7)corresponding to X = 10, and λ = 7 is 0.071.

 

b)

Obtain the probability P(X;λ) when P(9;8) by using Table C in Appendix A.

From the “Appendix A Table C, The Poisson Distribution”, the probability P(9;8) corresponding to X = 9, and λ = 8 is 0.1241.

 

c)

Obtain the probability P(X; λ) when P(3;4) by using Table C in Appendix A.

From the “Appendix A Table C, The Poisson Distribution”, the probability P(3;4) corresponding to X = 3, and λ = 4 is 0.1954.
