#1 Now that you have studied the binomial probability distribution and the distribution of Poisson, which do you think is easier to use? Explains.

#2

Consider a Poisson random variable with = 3.0. Use poisson's formula for calculate the following probabilities: a) P(0) b) P(2) c) P(1)

#3 Using the Poisson distribution table, determine the probability when: a) = 0.8, si x= 2 b) = 12.0, si x= 8 c) = 2.5, si x= 3

#4 The x number of people admitted to an intensive care unit in a particular hospital on any day, has a Poisson probability distribution with mean equal to five (5) people per day. What is the probability that the number of people admitted to an intensive care unit, on a particular day, be it three (3)? Solve using Poisson's formula (Mendenhall et al., 2015).

#5

Calculate with a) the formula and b) the table, the Poisson probability when = 4, if x = 6. Certify that with both methods you get the same result.
