Question
If a random variable X follows Poisson distribution such that P(X = l) =P(X = 2), then find P(X ≥ 1). [Use e-2 = 0.1353]

Solution
Given X - p(m)
The p.m.f of X is,
P(X = x) = P(x) = `("e"^(-"m") . "m"^2)/("x"!)` , x = 0 , 1 , 2
Given P(X= l)= P(X= 2)
`therefore ("e"^(-"m") . "m"^1)/(1!) = ("e"^(-"m") . "m"^2)/(2!)`
⇒ m = 2
Now P (X ≥ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)
`= 1 - ("e"^(-"m") . "m"^0)/(0!) = 1 - ("e"^(-2) xx 1)/1`
= 1 - e-2
= 1- 0.1353
= 0.8647

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.

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`
