उत्तर

P(X ≤ 4) = P (X = 0) + P(X =1) + P (X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

`= ("e"^-2  2^0)/ (0!) + ("e"^-2  2^1)/ (1!) + ("e"^-2  2^2)/ (2!) + ("e"^-2  2^3)/ (3!) + ("e"^-2  2^4)/ (4!)` 

`= "e"^-2 (1 + 2 + 4/2 + 8/6 + 16/24)`

= 0.1353 × 7

= 0.9471

∴ P(X ≤ 4) = 0.9471

State whether the following statement is True or False:  

A discrete random variable X is said to follow the Poisson distribution with parameter m ≥ 0 if its p.m.f. is given by P(X = x) = `("e"^(-"m")"m"^"x")/"x"`, x = 0, 1, 2, .....


If X follows Poisson distribution such that P(X = 1) = 0.4 and P(X = 2) = 0.2, using the following activity find the value of m.

Solution: X : Follows Poisson distribution

∴ P(X) = `("e"^-"m" "m"^x)/(x!)`, P(X = 1) = 0.4 and P(X = 2) = 0.2

∴ P(X = 1) = `square` P(X = 2).

`("e"^-"m" "m"^x)/(1!) = square ("e"^-"m" "m"^2)/(2!)`,

`"e"^-"m" = square  "e"^-"m" "m"/2`, m ≠ 0

∴ m = `square`


State whether the following statement is true or false:

lf X ∼ P(m) with P(X = 1) = P(X = 2) then m = 1.


If X has Poisson distribution with parameter m and P(X = 2) = P(X = 3), then find P(X ≥ 2). Use e–3 = 0.0497.

P[X = x] = `square`

Since P[X = 2] = P[X = 3]

`square` = `square`

`m^2/2 = m^3/6` 

∴ m = `square`

Now, P[X ≥ 2] = 1 – P[x < 2]

= 1 – {P[X = 0] + P[X = 1]

= `1 - {square/(0!) + square/(1!)}`

= 1 – e–3[1 + 3]

= 1 – `square` = `square`
