[Use e-2 = 0.1353]

Solution
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

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)`

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`

(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`
