On weekend nights, a large urban hospital has an average of 4.8 emergency arrivals per hour. Let X be the number of arrivals per hour on a weekend night at this hospital. Assume that successive arrivals are random and independent. What is the probability P(X < 3)?

P(X < 3) = 0.14254

Step-by-step explanation:

We have only the mean, which means that the Poisson distribution is used to solve this question.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

is the mean in the given interval.

On weekend nights, a large urban hospital has an average of 4.8 emergency arrivals per hour.

This means that

What is the probability P(X < 3)?

So

So

P(X < 3) = 0.14254

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
