उत्तर
`P(X=k)=e^(-m) xx m^k/(k!)`
(a) only two complaints on any given day.
k=2, m=4
`P(X=2)=e^(-4) xx 4^2/2`
`=0.0183 xx 8 `
`=0.1464`
Probability that the manager will recieve only two complaints on any given day = 0.1464
(b) at most two complaints on any given day
`=P(x<=2)`
`=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)`
`= e^(-4) + 4e^(-4) + 4^2 (e^(-4))/(2!)`
`= e^(-4) ( 1 + 4 + 8)`
`= 13 x e^(-4)`
= 13 x 0.0183
= 0.2379
Probab ility that the manager will receive · at most two complaints on any given day = 0.2379.

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`

In a town, 10 accidents take place in the span of 50 days. Assuming that the number of accidents follows Poisson distribution, find the probability that there will be 3 or more accidents on a day.
(Given that e-0.2 = 0.8187)
Solution:
Here, m = `square` and X − P(m) with parameter m.
The p.m.f. X is:
P(X = x) = `(e^(−m).m^x)/(x!), x = 0, 1, 2,...`
P(X ≥ 3) = 1 − P(X < 3)
= 1 − [`square + square + square`]
= `1 − [(e^(− 0.2)(0.2)^0)/(0!) + (e^(−0.2)(0.2)^1)/(1!) + (e^(−0.2)(0.2)^2)/(2!)]`
= 1 − [0.8187(1 + 0.2 + 0.02)]
= 1 − `square`
= `square`
