Suppose that the number of drivers who travel between a particular origin and destination during a designated time period has a Poisson distribution with parameter μ=20μ=20. What is the probability that the number of drivers is at least 16, i.e. P(X≥16)P(X≥16)? Use the Poisson probability table in the formula sheet.
Select one:
a. 0.779
b. 0.559
c. 0.441
d. 0.843
e. 0.221
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = =20
Using poison probability formula,
P(X = x) = (e- * x ) / x!
P(X > 16) = 1 - [P(X = 0)- P(X = 1)]-P(X = 2)- P(X = 3)- P(X = 4)- P(X = 5)- P(X = 6)- P(X = 7)- P(X = 8)- P(X = 9)- P(X = 10)- P(X = 11)- P(X = 12)- P(X = 13)- P(X = 14)- P(X = 15)- P(X = 16)
= 1 - (e-20 * 200) / 0! - (e-20 * 201) / 1!- (e-20 * 202) / 2!- (e-20 * 203) / 3!- (e-20 * 204) / 4!- (e-20 * 205) / 5!- (e- 20 * 206) / 6!- (e-20 * 207) / 7!- (e-20 * 208) / 8!- (e-20 * 209) / 9!- (e-20 * 2010) / 10!- (e-20 * 2011) / 11!- (e-20 * 2012) / 12!- (e-20 * 2013) / 13!- (e-20 * 2014) / 14!- (e-20 * 2015) / 15!- (e-20 * 2016) / 16!

Chapter 05, Section 5.4, Problem 036 According to a survey conducted at the local OMV, 50% of drivers who rive to work stated that they regularly exceed the posted speed limit on their way to work. Suppose that this result is true for the population of drivers who drive to work. A random sample of 15 drivers who drive to work is selected. Use the binomial probabilities table (Table 1 of Appendix 8) or technology to find to 3 deimal...
