Expert verified

Xcan take any positive integer value from zero to positive perpetuity.
X=0,1,2,3,4,

Step by step solution

01

:Given

Eighteen teens on mean dies due to engine instrument casualty every day.

02

Explanation

Xis a arbitrary variable who represents the no. of teens who die because of motor vehicle injuries. Xcan take any value 0,1,2,3,4..
According to the given situation, we can easily say that X
follows the Poisson Distribution with parameter mean (λ)is 8 per day and friction(λ) is also 8 per day. In Poisson distribution Variance is equals to mean.
Poisson distribution occurs when there is not definite no. of trials or nand circumstance of no. of events in a fixed time interval is fixed.

Probability mass function of Poisson distribution is: P(X=x)=eλxxx!x=0,1,2,3,4,....

Use the following information to answer the next six exercises: The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.3% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly select freshman from the study until you find one who replies “yes.” You are interested in the number of freshmen you must ask.

On average (μ), how many freshmen would you expect to have to ask until you found one who replies "yes?"
