Think of a Poisson experiment example from your own area of interest. Describe how the selected experiment meets all the characteristics of a Poisson experiment. The Poisson distribution may also be used to approximate the binomial distribution. Explain this relationship
Finding Missing Probabilities
To find the missing probability, we can use the fact that the sum of all probabilities in a probability distribution is equal to 1. Given the probabilities provided, we can calculate the missing probability for x = 4 by subtracting
Finding probabilities
Given the table below, answer the questions the following questions: 1. What is the probability that P(X>2)? 2. What is the probability that P(X=4)? 3. What is the probability that P(1<X<3)? x P(x) 1 0.15 2 0.35 3 0.40 4
Binominal Experiments
Think of a binomial experiment example from your own area of interest. Describe how the experiment selected meets all the characteristics of a binomial experiment. First, let’s see what a binomial experiment is. A binomial experiment is a statistical experiment
