Suppose that the random variable X is the number of successes in a Poisson process with mean
3.06. Choose one from the following which is closest to the correct answer.
O a. P(X < 4) = 0.8051.
O e. P(X> 4) = 0.1949.
O b. P(X ≥ 4) =
O d. P(X ≤ 4) = 0.6338.
O c. P(X> 4) = 0.1048.
= 0. 1949.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given that

Mean lambda equals 3.06

We use the Poisson probability formula:

P left parenthesis X equals x right parenthesis equals fraction numerator e to the power of negative lambda end exponent lambda to the power of x over denominator x factorial end fraction
