The city has an average of 12.2 days of rainfall for April.
What is the probability of having exactly 10 days of precipitation in the month of April?
What is the probability of having less than three days of precipitation in the month of April?
What is the probability of having more than 15 days of precipitation in the month of April?

Answer:

a) the probability of having exactly 10 days of precipitation in the month of April

 = P(x = 10) = [tex]\frac{e^{-12.2}(12.2)^{10} }{10!} = 0.1013[/tex]

b)  the probability of having less than 3 days of precipitation in the month of April

= P(x < 3)    =    p( x = 1) + p(x = 2)

=   [tex]\frac{e^{-12.2}(12.2)^{1} }{1!} + \frac{e^{-12.2}(12.2)^{2} }{2!} =\hspace{0.1cm}[/tex]  [tex]0.000374 + \hspace{0.1cm} 0.0000614 \hspace{0.1cm} = \hspace{0.1cm} 0.000436[/tex]

c.) the probability of having more than 15 days of precipitation in

    the month of April

  = P (x > 15)  =  1 - P( x≤15) = 1 - [tex]\frac{e^{-12.2}(12.2)^{15} }{15!} = 0.076[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Here λ = 12.2

Poisson distribution, P(x = X)  = [tex]\dfrac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^{x} }{x!}[/tex]

a) the probability of having exactly 10 days of precipitation in the month of April

 = P(x = 10) = [tex]\frac{e^{-12.2}(12.2)^{10} }{10!} = 0.1013[/tex]

b)  the probability of having less than 3 days of precipitation in the month of April

= P(x < 3)    =    p( x = 1) + p(x = 2)

=   [tex]\frac{e^{-12.2}(12.2)^{1} }{1!} + \frac{e^{-12.2}(12.2)^{2} }{2!} =\hspace{0.1cm}[/tex]  [tex]0.000374 + \hspace{0.1cm} 0.0000614 \hspace{0.1cm} = \hspace{0.1cm} 0.000436[/tex]

c.) the probability of having more than 15 days of precipitation in

    the month of April

  = P (x > 15)  =  1 - P( x≤15) = 1 - [tex]\frac{e^{-12.2}(12.2)^{15} }{15!} = 0.076[/tex]
