Answer:

The probability that there are 8 occurrences in ten minutes is

option B. 0 .0771

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Random Variable = x

Mean number of occurrences in ten minutes is 5.3.

The probability of an occurrence is the same in any two time periods of an equal length

To Find:

The probability that there are 8 occurrences in ten minutes  = ?

Solution:

Let X be the number of  occurrences of the event X

X \sim {Pois} (\lambda)

\lambda = E(X) = 5.3

Possion of distribution is given by ,

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

Substituting the values,

P(X=8) = \frac{e^{- 5.3} 5.3^{8}}{8!}

P(X=8) = \frac{(0.004994) ( 622596.904)}{40320}

P(X=8) = \frac{(3109.24894)}{40320}

P(X=8) = 0.0771
