A loss random variable X has a Poisson distribution with a mean of λ. An insurance policy on the loss has a policy limit of 1. The expected insurance payment when a loss occurs is 0.8892. Find the expected insurance payment when a loss occurs for a policy on the same loss variable if the policy limit is 2.

Determine if the following scenarios follow a Poisson distribution or do not follow a Poisson Distribution. • You work in a shoe shop and you want to find the distribution of the total number of people who come into the store in a day. You also observe that there are usually more people who come into the shop over lunchtime (10-2 pm) and more people who come into the store after they finish work (5 pm-6 pm). Let X be the number of people who come into the shoe shop on a given day. No - not Poisson • You love peanut butter and want to know how many people buy peanut butter from Trader Joe's. One summer you have nothing to do so you go and stand in Trader Joe's every day and count how many people buy peanut butter in a given week. You assume that consumers do not impact each other's decisions. Let Y be the number of people who buy peanut butter in a given week. Yes - Poisson You want to know how many people in a group of 100 take painkillers if they have a headache. You think that the…
A randomly selected group of 560 students are assumed to have heights distributed normally with meanµ = 166 cm and standard deviation σ = 30 cm. Suppose a student is chosen randomly from this group. Finda. the probability that this student’s height is between 170 cm and 182 cm.b. the probability that this student’s height is bigger than 175 cm.
The random variable x represents the number of emails a student receives on a day. Assume it has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 14.3 emails. Find the probability that in a random day the student receives 3 emails. Round your answer to four decimal places.
A certain brokerage house wants to estimate the mean daily return on a certain stock. A random sample of 20 days yields the following return percentages. 1.09, -1.09, -0.14,-0.03,1.76,-1.59,-1.46 , 2.13, 1.96, 2.01,-0.91,0.64,-2.41, 1.81, –0.25, -0.46,0.37, -0.21, 1.39,0.68 Send data to calculator Send data to Excel If we assume that the returns are normally distributed, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean daily return on this stock. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to one decimal place. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) Lower limit: Upper limit:
