Question
If X has Poisson distribution with parameter m = 1, find P[X ≤ 1] [Use `e^-1 = 0.367879`]

Solution
Given X follows Poisson distribution with parameter m = 1
∴ X ∼ P(1)
p.m.f. is given by
P(X = x) = `(e^-m m^x)/(x!)`
= `(e^-1 1^x)/(x!)`
P(X = x) = `e^-1/(x!)`
Now P[X ≤ l] = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1)
= `e^-1/(0!) + e^-1/(1!)`
= `2e^-1`
= 2(0.367879)
= 0.735758

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`
