Answer:

This is useful to choose which calculation to perform.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Firstly, let's consider that the Binomial Distribution tends to the Poisson Distribution given certain conditions:

n\rightarrow \infty, p\rightarrow 0, \lambda =np

Roughly, they tend to the same value.

2) The Binomial Probability is calculated through this formula:

Binomial: P(X=x)=\binom{n}{x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}

Poisson Distribution this way:

Poisson:P(X=x)=\frac{\lambda^{x} e^{-\lambda }}{x!}

3) If we plug

p=\frac{\lambda }{n}

In the Binomial formula, given an "n" a very large quantity we'll have a closer outcome to Poisson.

P(X=x)=\binom{n}{x}\left ( \frac{\lambda }{n} \right )^{x}(1-\frac{\lambda }{n})^{n-x} \approx \frac{\lambda^{x} e^{-\lambda }}{x!}

4) This is useful especially due to the convenience of calculating.

Because operating with exponentials and factorials, is hard and sometimes 'n' and 'p' may also be unknown, and sometimes the known parameter is the Mean.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Mean = £1.8 million


Step-by-step explanation:

The MEAN is the sum of all the numbers divided by the number of numbers.

  • <u>There are 5 numbers in total</u>
  • <u>The sum is 1.4+1.6+1.8+2.5+1.7=9 million</u>

Hence the mean is \frac{9}{5}=1.8 million

Suppose you invest $150 a month for 5 years into an account earning 7% compounded monthly. After 5 years, you leave the money, w
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

About 0.3 billion dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

5 years = 60 months.

The 150 of the first month will be 150*1.07^60 in 5 years.

The 150 of the second month will be 150*1.07^59 in 5 years.

The 150 of the third month will be 150*1.07^58 in 5 years.

And so forth.

So we sum that up:

( sum_(n=1)^(60) 150×1.07^n)

And multiply with

× 1.07^(5×23)

to account for the increase in value in the following 23 years.
