The mean number of daily surgeries at a local hospital is 6.2. Assume that surgeries are random, independent events. (a) The cou

nt of daily surgeries follows approximately: A Poisson distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 2.49. A binomial distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 3.1. A binomial distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 1.76. A binomial distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 3.8. A Poisson distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 6.2. (b) The probability that there would be only 2 or fewer surgeries in a given day is approximately (round to 4 decimal places):

Answer:

1)  Poisson distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 2.49.

2) 0.0536

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean of daily surgeries = 6.2

a) The count of daily surgeries can be treated as a Poisson distribution.

  • The Poisson distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of events occurring in a given time period, given the average number of times the event occurs over that time period.
  • The variance of Poisson distribution is equal to the mean of Poisson distribution.

Variance = 6.2

Standard deviation = \sqrt{6.2} = 2.49

a) Poisson distribution with mean 6.2 and standard deviation 2.49.

2) P( 2 or less surgeries)

Formula:

P(X =k) = \displaystyle\frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}\\\\ \lambda \text{ is the mean of the distribution}

P( x \leq 2) = P(x =0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2)\\\\= \displaystyle\frac{6.2^0 e^{-6.2}}{0!} + \displaystyle\frac{6.2^1 e^{-6.2}}{1!} + \displaystyle\frac{6.2^2 e^{-6.2}}{2!}\\\\ = 0.00203+ 0.01259 + 0.03900\\\\= 0.0536 = 5.36\%

If 100 cats kill 100 mice in 100 days, then 4 cats would kill 4 mice in how many days ?
Gemiola [76]
If 100 cats killed 100 mice in 100 days, you can say that each cat killed one mouse the day after the last cat. So, if four cats killed four mice, and we're going of off the same basis that each cat killed one mouse the day after the last cat, then the answer would be 4.

forsale [732]

The probability of choosing Joey first is  1/12 .

If that happens, the probability of choosing Chloe next is  1/11 .

Then, the probability of choosing Zoe after that is  1/10 .

The probability of all these things happening is

          (1/12) x (1/11) x (1/10) 

       =  1/1320 = 0.00076 = 0.076 percent
