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`
State whether the following statement is true or false:
lf X ∼ P(m) with P(X = 1) = P(X = 2) then m = 1.
If X – P(m) with P(X = 1) = P(X = 2), then find the mean and P(X = 2) given that e–2 = 0.1353
Solution: Since P(X = 1) = P(X = 2)
`(e^-mm^1)/(1!) = square`
∴ m = `square`
∴ mean = `square` = `square`
Then P(X = 2) = `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`
