Answer:
(a) The probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.
(b) The probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>X</em> = number of soldiers killed by horse kicks in 1 year.
The random variable .
The probability function of a Poisson distribution is:
(a)
Compute the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year as follows:
P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)
= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)
Thus, the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year is 0.1252.
(b)
The average deaths over 7 year period is:
Compute the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years as follows:
Thus, the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years is 0.0130.
