A distance random variable X is said to have the Poisson distribution with parameter m if its p.m.f. is given by P(x) = `("e"^(-"m")"m"^"x")/("x"!)` the condition for m is ______


If X has Poisson distribution with parameter m and P(X = 2) = P(X = 3), then find P(X ≥ 2). Use e–3 = 0.0497.

P[X = x] = `square`

Since P[X = 2] = P[X = 3]

`square` = `square`

`m^2/2 = m^3/6` 

∴ m = `square`

Now, P[X ≥ 2] = 1 – P[x < 2]

= 1 – {P[X = 0] + P[X = 1]

= `1 - {square/(0!) + square/(1!)}`

= 1 – e–3[1 + 3]

= 1 – `square` = `square`


If X – P(m) with P(X = 1) = P(X = 2), then find the mean and P(X = 2) given that e–2 = 0.1353

Solution: Since P(X = 1) = P(X = 2)

`(e^-mm^1)/(1!) = square`

∴ m = `square`

∴ mean = `square` = `square`

Then P(X = 2) = `square` = `square`

If X ∼ P(m) with P(X = 1) = P(X = 2), then find the mean and P(X = 2).

Given e–2 = 0.1353

Solution: Since P(X = 1) = P(X = 2)

∴ `("e"^square"m"^1)/(1!) = ("e"^"-m""m"^2)/square`

∴ m = `square`

∴ P(X = 2) = `("e"^-2. "m"^2)/(2!)` = `square`
