Problem 3. Recall that if X follows a poisson distribution with parameter X, the probability mass function of X is given by: Px (x) = e-11x x! 3 x = = {0, 1, 2,...} (a) If px (2) = 2px (0), calculate px(3). (b) Use this poisson random variable X to approximate P(Y = 4), where Y is a binomial random variable with n = 2000 and p = = x/n.

![**Problem 3.** Recall that if \( X \) follows a Poisson distribution with parameter \( \lambda \), the probability mass function of \( X \) is given by:
\[
p_X(x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^x}{x!}, \quad x = \{0, 1, 2, \ldots\}
\]
(a) If \( p_X(2) = 2p_X(0) \), calculate \( p_X(3) \).
(b) Use this Poisson random variable \( X \) to approximate \( \mathbb{P}(Y = 4) \), where \( Y \) is a binomial random variable with \( n = 2000 \) and \( p = \lambda/n \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbbff2935-77bb-4550-bfd1-d595e6271f30%2F0e4903d9-e456-49b6-b8f6-521950bf3e45%2Fw7jpe8a_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
