Given that xx is a random variable having a Poisson distribution, compute the following:
(a) P(x=1)P(x=1) when μ=4.5μ=4.5
P(x)=P(x)=
(b) P(x≤8)P(x≤8)when μ=0.5μ=0.5
P(x)=P(x)=
(c) P(x>7)P(x>7) when μ=4μ=4
P(x)=P(x)=
(d) P(x<1)P(x<1) when μ=1μ=1
P(x)=P(x)=
Part a)
Probability mass function of Poisson distribution is
Part b)
P ( X <= 8 ) = 1
Part c)
P ( X > 7 ) = 1 - P ( X <= 6 ) = 1 - 0.8894
P ( X > 7 ) = 0.1106
Part d)
P ( X < 1 ) = P ( X = 0 ) = 0.3679
