TopicPoisson Distribution
TypeSample mean distribution of Poisson

5 A random variable \(X\) has the distribution \(\operatorname { Po } ( 3.2 )\).
  1. A random value of \(X\) is found.
    (a) Find \(\mathrm { P } ( X \geqslant 3 )\).
    (b) Find the probability that \(X = 3\) given that \(X \geqslant 3\).
  2. Random samples of 120 values of \(X\) are taken.
    (a) Describe fully the distribution of the sample mean.
    (b) Find the probability that the mean of a random sample of size 120 is less than 3.3.
