If X ~ Bin(10, 0.99)
We have, E(X) = np = 10 * 0.99 = 9.9 < 10.
The mean of Poisson random variable is also 9.9 if we want to approximate the Binomial distribution with Poisson.
So, approximately X ~ Poi(9.9)
The required probability = P(4.2
X
7.4) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) [As, X is a discrete random
variable] =
= P(X
7) - P(X
4) = 0.2294 - 0.0312 = 0.1982.
Using Binomial distribution, the required probability = P(4.2
X
7.4) =
= P(X
7) - P(X
4) = 0.000114 - 0.000001 = 0.000113.
Since, the answers are not close, the approximation is not good in this case.
