Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I always like to use the mean if I can. In this data set, it's probably not a very good idea. Too much weight is given to that 7.2 and the two 3.2s.

I would choose the median, because the mode is the same answer and that's a good enough reason for choosing anything. 2 out 3 isn't bad as they say in Baseball.

The number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of a particular mountain has a poisson distribution with a mean of 3.8. fin

atroni [7]

Let X be the number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of particular mountain.

X follows Poisson distribution with mean μ = 3.8

We have to find here the probability that in randomly selected year the number of lightning strikes is 0

The Poisson probability is given by,

P(X=k) = $\frac{e^{-mean} mean^{x}}{x!}$

Here we have X=0, mean =3.8

Hence probability that X=0 is given by

P(X=0) = $\frac{e^{-3.8} 3.8^{0}}{0!}$

P(X=0) = $\frac{0.02237 * 1}{1}$

P(X=0) = 0.0224

The probability that in a randomly selected year, the number of lightning strikes is 0 is 0.0224

I've had a problem similar to this before. He should start out with 0 flowers. He would have 2 flowers at the first one, so he would put one on the first grave then have one for the second. When he gets to the second, he puts down one flower and the last flower on the 3rd grave.
