Question 1

What is the condition necessary for the Binomial distribution to approach the Poisson distribution?

  • n becomes finite
  • n approaches infinity and p approaches zero
  • p becomes 1

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider 'infinity' as a keyword.

Question 2

True or False: The mean and variance of the Poisson distribution are both equal to Ξ».

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the properties of the Poisson distribution.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A renewable energy facility produces, on average, 20 power outages per month. Calculate the probability of having exactly 5 outages next month. Use Ξ»=20.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Convert the values into the Poisson formula carefully.

Question 2

Discuss how you would use the Poisson distribution to model the call volume in a call center with an average of 10 calls per hour. What assumptions must be kept in mind?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about independence and rate stability.
