Question:
In applying the Poisson probability distribution formula, P(x) equals μx•e−μx!
Briefly describe what the symbol mu represents. Choose the correct answer below.A.The symbol mu is a variable that represents the area of each region.B.The symbol mu is a variable that represents the number of occurrences of the event in an interval.C.The symbol mu is a variable that represents the number of occurrences of the event.D.The symbol mu represents a static value.E.The symbol mu is a variable that represents the mean number of occurrences of the event in the intervals.
Answer:
μ is a variable that represents the mean number of occurrences of the event in the intervals.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Poisson distribution is often used to model the number of occurrences of an event in a certain interval.
P(x, μ)
Where the symbol mu (μ) represents the mean number of occurrences of an event x in a specified interval and the variable x represents a static value.
Therefore, the correct answer is option E, μ is a variable that represents the mean number of occurrences of the event in the intervals.
