Question
Let a random variable X follow Poisson distribution such that Prob (X = 1) = Prob (X= 2). The value of Prob (X = 3) is __________ (round off to 2 decimal places).
Answer :
Correct answer is : 0.18
Prob(X = 1) = Prob(X = 2)
e = 2.718
λ = λ2/2
(λ2 - 2λ) = 0 ⇒ λ (λ - 2) = 0
Since λ is always greater than zero, hence
λ - 2 = 0 ⇒ λ = 2
Prob(X = 3) =
Prob(X = 3) = = 0.18
