The average number of phone inquiries per day at the poison control center is 2. Find the probability that it will receive exactly 4 calls on a given day

Respuesta :

Answer: 0.0902

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average number of phone inquiries per day at the poison control center : [tex]\lambda=2[/tex]

The Poisson distribution function is given by :-

[tex]\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}[/tex]

Then ,  the probability that it will receive exactly 4 calls on a given day is  given by (Put [tex]x=4[/tex] and [tex]\lambda=2[/tex]) :-

[tex]\dfrac{e^{-2}2^4}{4!}=0.09022352215\approx0.0902[/tex]

Hence, the required probability : 0.0902
