Question

n a major league baseball game, the average is 1.0 broken bat per game. (a) Find the probability of no broken bats in a game. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability (b) Find the probability of at least 2 broken bats in a game. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability

Answer 1

a) Probability of no broken bats in a game P(X=0) = 0.3678

b) Probability of at-least broken bats in a game P(X≥2) = 0.2644

Explanation:

we will use Poisson distribution

P(X=x) = e^(-λ) λ^ r/r!

a) Probability of no broken bats in a game P(X=0) = e^-1

= 0.3678

b) Probability of at-least two broken bats in a game

P(X≥2) = 1-([p(x=0)+P(x=1)]

= 1- (e^(-1)+e^(-1))

= 1-(0.3678+0.3678)

P(X≥2)= 1- 0.7356

P(X≥2)= 0.2644
