Question on how to complete problem d on question 5.70?
It’s a broad question, but I’ll do my best:
(a) and (d) are tricky, but the Poisson distribution has a specific mean (equal to lambda) and standard deviation (also lambda). Use the mean and standard deviation to find specific numbers (e.g., in a, the mean is 4.5) which you can use to find the specific answers. Remember, to find P(X something) you need to find: 1 – P(X < something).
