Q80 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

The variance of a Poisson variate X is 2. Then PX≥3=

  • A
    e2-7e2
  • B
    e2-3e2
  • Correct answer
    C
    e2-5e2
  • D
    1-4e2

Solution

We know that formula of poisson distribution is given by,

PX=n=λne-λn! where λ= mean or variance and given λ=2,

Now using the above formula in PX≥3=1-P0+P1+P2 we get,

PX≥3=1-P0+P1+P2

⇒PX≥3=1-20e-20!+21e-21!+22e-22!

⇒PX≥3=1-e-2200!+211!+222!

⇒PX≥3=1-1e21+2+2

⇒PX≥3=e2-5e2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
