If for a Poisson distribution 2P(X=0) + P(X= 2) = 2P(X= 1), what is the mean of the distribution? [2 MARKS] b) The number of hits, X, per baseball game, has a Poisson distribution. If the probability of a no-hit game is 1/3, what is the probability of having 2 or more hits in a specified game? [4 MARKS] c) At a certain plant, accidents have been occurring at an average rate of 1 every 2 months. Assume that the accidents occur independently and that they follow the Poisson law. What is the probability of there being no accidents in three-quarters of a given year? [2 MARKS] i. What is the probability of at least one accident per three-quarters of a year? [3 MARKS] ii.
