This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An insurance company determines that the number of claims received in a week follows a Poisson distribution. The probability that the insurance company receives at most one claim in a week is 5/13 times the probability that the insurance company receives at most two claims in a week.

Calculate the probability that the insurance company receives four claims in a week.

Answer:

the probability that the insurance company receives four claims in a week is 0.1954

Step-by-step explanation:

P(at most one claim) = P(X ≤ 1)

and

P(at most two claims) = P(X ≤ 2)

for P(X ≤ 1) = (5/13) × P(X ≤ 2)  

P(X ≤ 1 ) = (5/13) × (P(X ≤ 1) + P(X = 2))

(8/13) × P(X ≤ 1) = (5/13) × P(X = 2)

8 × ( e^(-λ) λ⁰ / 0! + e^(-λ)λ₁/1! ) = 5 × (e^(-λ)λ²/2!

16( 1 + λ ) = 5 × λ²

5 × λ²- 16 × λ - 16 = 0

λ = 4

Therefore the probability that the insurance company receives four claims in a week is P(X = 4) =e⁻⁴4⁴/4! = 0.1954

Reika [66]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of a data set is the difference between the largest and the smallest values in that data set. In this case, the largest value in the data set is 119, and the smallest is 63. 119-63=56, which is the range. Hope this helps!
