Question:
(a) For n = 106, p = 0.030, and r = 4, compute P(r) using the formula for the binomial distribution and your calculator:
P (r) = Cn, rpr(1 – p)n–r
(b) For n = 106, p = 0.030, and r = 4, estimate P(r) using the Poisson approximation to the binomial.
(c) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b). Does it appear that the Poisson distribution with l = np provides a good approximation for P(r = 4)?
