Let X be a Poisson random variable with μ = 6.Use the table of Poisson probabilities to calculate:
a.P(X ≤ 8)
b.P(X = 8)
c.P(X ≥ 5)
d.P(6 ≤ X ≤ 10)

Poisson Random Variable

Reflects the number of times a specified event occurs within a fixed interval, assuming events occur independently and at a constant rate.

Poisson Probabilities

The probability distribution that measures the probability of a given number of events happening in a fixed interval of time or space, assuming these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event.

  • Develop the aptitude for determining probabilities, expected values, and variances in Poisson distributions.
  • Acquire the ability to apply statistical tables in addressing issues associated with binomial and Poisson distributions.
