The number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a Poisson random variable with mean 蹋 However, suppose that the value of changes from person to person, being equal to 2for 60percent of the population and 3for the other 40percent. If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that he will have

(a) 0accidents and,

(b) Exactly 3accidents in a certain year? What is the conditional probability that he will have3 accidents in a given year, given that he had no accidents the preceding year?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. A number of 0accidents value are P{X=0}=0.10112.

b. The exact 3accidents in a certain year value are P{X=3}=0.1979and P{X=3he had no accidents the preceding year}=0.189.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part a)

A number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a Poisson random variable with mean.

02

Explanation (Part a) 

Let Xis a number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a Poisson random variable with mean .

=2with P{=2}=0.6and =3

With P{=3}=0.4

P{X=0}=e-.

03

Explanation (Part a) 

Substitute

P{X=0}=P{X=0=2}+P{X=0=3}

=0.6e-2+0.4e-3

Add the value,

=0.10112.

04

Final answer (Part a)

A number of 0accidents value found to beP{X=0}=0.10112.

05

Given Information (Part b)

Exactly 3accidents in a certain year and given that he had no accidents the preceding year

06

Explanation (Part b)

Exactly3accidents in a certain year

P{X=3}=P{X=3=2}+P{X=3=3}

Substitute,

=0.623e-23!+0.433e-33!

=0.68e-26+0.427e-36

Simplify,

=16(0.645+0.54)

=0.1979.

07

Explanation (Part b)

P{X=3he had no accidents the preceding year}

=P{X=3,X=0}P{X=0}

Substitute,

=0.623e-23!e-2+0.433e-33!e-30.10112

Divide,

=0.0191142650.10112

=0.189

08

Final answer (Part b)

The exact 3accidents in a certain year value are P{X=3}=0.1979and P{X=31he had no accidents the preceding year}=0.189.
