TopicPoisson Distribution
TypeSample mean distribution of Poisson

7 The independent random variables \(X\) and \(Y\) have the distributions \(\operatorname { Po } ( 2.1 )\) and \(\operatorname { Po } ( 3.5 )\) respectively.
  1. Find \(\mathrm { P } ( X + Y = 3 )\).
  2. Given that \(X + Y = 3\), find \(\mathrm { P } ( X = 2 )\).
  3. A random sample of 100 values of \(X\) is taken. Find the probability that the sample mean is more than 2.2.
