Question

The answer for c is not the same as the answer b.

(1 point) The number of accidents that a person has in a given year is a Poisson random variable with mean ?. However, we may suppose that the rate ? depends on the person or portion of the population. Suppose that 1 4 for 60 percent of the population, andA-5 for the other 40 percent. (a) If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that s/he will have zero accidents in a certain year? P(no accidents)0.0136845621 (b) If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that s/he will have 3 accidents in a certain year? P(3 accidents) -0.1733696472 (c) What is the conditional probability that the person will have 3 accidents in a given year, given that s/he had none in the preceding year? P3 accidents inone preceding)-0.17337

Explanation / Answer

The answer for c is same as the answer b. because 3 accidents in a certain year is same as 3 accidents in a given year(that is, in a particular year) given that he/she had none in preceding year.

and the value of probability of question(b) and question(c) are same. just round the value of probability upto 5 decimal places in part(c).
