There are 4 accidents, on average, at an intersection. Assume the variable follows a Poisson distribution. Find the probability that there will be less than 2 accidents at this intersection.

P [ X < 2 ]   =  0,091         or       P [ X < 2 ]   =  9,1 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable follows a Poisson Distribution then:

P [ X = x ] =  λˣ *e₋∧-λ / x!

λ = 4

The probability of X less than  2 is:

P [ X < 2 ]   =    P[ X = 0 ]  + P[ X = 1 ]

P[ X = 0 ]  = 4⁰ * e ∧ -4 / 0!

P[ X = 0 ]  = e⁻⁴ / 0!

P[ X = 0 ]  = e⁻⁴ /1

P[ X = 0 ]  = 0,01831

P[ X = 0 ]  = 0,01831    or     P[ X = 0 ]  = 1,8 %

Now

P[ X = 1 ] =  4¹ * e⁻⁴ / 1!

P[ X = 1 ] = 4 * 0,01831

P[ X = 1 ] = 0,073         or    P[ X = 1 ] = 7,3 %

Then

P [ X < 2 ]   =   0,01831  +  0,073

P [ X < 2 ]   =  0,091         or       P [ X < 2 ]   =  9,1 %

step-by-step explanation:

the x's and the y's both go up the same amount each time, therefore it will be a linear function because it will go in a straight line when drawn on a graph.

hope this !

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
