The number of complaints which a bank manager receives per day is a Poisson random variable with parameter m = 4. Find the probability that the manager will receive -
(a) only two complaints on any given day.
(b) at most two complaints on any given day

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.

The probability that a bomb will hit the target is 0.8. Using the following activity, find the probability that, out of 5 bombs, exactly 2 will miss the target
Solution: Let p = probability that bomb miss the target
∴ q = `square`, p = `square`, n = 5.
X ~ B`(5, square)`, P(x) = `""^"n""C"_x"P"^x"q"^("n" - x)`
P(X = 2) = `""^5"C"_2 square = square`
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`
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`
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`
If X ∼ P(m) with P(X = 1) = P(X = 2), then find the mean and P(X = 2).
Given e–2 = 0.1353
Solution: Since P(X = 1) = P(X = 2)
∴ `("e"^square"m"^1)/(1!) = ("e"^"-m""m"^2)/square`
∴ m = `square`
∴ P(X = 2) = `("e"^-2. "m"^2)/(2!)` = `square`
