The probability that an individual suffers a bad reaction from an injection is 0.001 . The probability that out of 2000 individuals exactly three will suffer bad reaction is
Options
- A1 e^2
- B2 3 e^2
- C8 3 e^2
- D4 3 e^2
Correct answer
D. 4 3 e^2
Step-by-step solution
Given, p=0.001, n=2000 Mean =n p=2000 0.001=2 Using poisson distribution, aligned & P(X=x)= ^x e^ -x x ! & P(X=3)= 2^3 e⁻³ 3 ! = 4 3 e^2 aligned
