In a book the characters are trying to determine whether the Poisson probabilistic model can be used to describe the locations that rockets landed in a city. They divided the city into 0.25-kmsquared regions. They then counted the number of rockets that landed in each region, with the results shown in the table below. Complete parts (a) through (e). Number of rocket hits 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Observed number of regions 228 214 94 32 7 0 0 1 (a) Estimate the mean number of rocket hits in a region by computing mu equals Summation from nothing to nothing xP left parenthesis x right parenthesis.

The estimated mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information,

Number of rocket hits     |    Observed number of regions

0                                       |                       228

1                                        |                       214

2                                       |                        94

3                                       |                        32

4                                       |                         7

5                                       |                        0

6                                       |                        0

7                                       |                         1

We are asked to estimate the mean number of rocket hits in the region.

The mean or expected value is given by

Therefore, the mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.
