उत्तर
In a Poisson distribution n = 2
Mean λ = 1.5
x follows a Poisson distribution
With in P(x) = `(e^(-lambda) lambda^x)/(x!)`
P(some demand is refused) = P(X > 2)
= 1 − P(X ≤ 2)
= 1 − [P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)]
= `1 - [(e^(-1.5) (1.5)^0)/(0!) + (e^(-1.5) (1.5)^1)/(1!) + (e^(-1.5) (1.5)^2)/(2!)]`
= `1 - e^(-1.5) [(1.5)^0/(0!) + (1.5)^1/(1!) +(1.5)^2/(2!)]`
= `1 - e^(-1.5) [1 + .5 + 2.25/2]`
= 1 – 0.2231 [1 + 1.5 + 1.125]
= 1 – 0.2231 [3.625]
= 1 − 0.8087
= 0.1913
