g Nationwide, a certain disease occurs only a small proportion of people (.000215). A certain town has 74,000 residents. Use the Poisson approximation. c) Determine the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness.

The probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = 0.00052.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have the following set of data or information or parameters given from the question above and they are; the number of people living in that particular society/community/town = 74,000 residents and the proportion of people that the diseases affected = .000215.

The first step to do is to determine the expected number of people with disease. Thus, the expected number of people with disease = 74,000 × .000215 = 15.91.

Hence, the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = 1.23 × 10^-7 × 15.91^30/ 2.65253 × 10^-32 = 0.00052.

Note the formula used in the calculating the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness =  e^-λ × λ^x/ x!
