#1 The average number of customer complaints at the Full Moon Motel is five per day.
Find the probability that on a typical day, the motel will receive
a) Eight complaints
b) At least two complaints
Answer
Let X be the number of complaints at the Full Moon Motel. Given that X is Poisson with mean = 5. The probability density function of Poisson random variable is given by
The probabilities for different values of X are given below
X P(X=x)
