Question No 2:
Solution:
The mean of the hypergeometric distribution h(x; N, K, n) is given by the formula:
E(X) = n * (K / N)
Given the specific parameters in the question (N = 50, K = 5, and n = 3), we can plug these values into the
formulas to get:
E(X) = 3 * (5 / 50)
= 3/10
= 0.3
The variance of the hypergeometric distribution h(x; N, K, n) is given by the formula:
Var(X) = n * (K / N) * ( (N - K) / N ) * ( (N - n) / (N - 1) )
Var(X) = 3 * (5 / 50) * ( (50 - 5) / 50) * ( (50 - 3) / 49)
Var(X) = 3/50
Var(X) = 0.06
Question No 3:
Solution:

The Poisson distribution with average lambda (λ) has the probability mass function (PMF) of:

P(X = k) = (λ^k * e^(-λ)) / k!

Where X is the random variable representing the number of typing errors per page, and k is the
number of typing errors.

We want to find the probability that X ≥ 2, which can be found by subtracting the probability of
X being less than 2 from 1.

P(X ≥ 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - (P(X = 0) + P(X = 1))

We can use the PMF to find P(X = 0) and P(X = 1)

P(X = 0) = (4^0 * e^(-4)) / 0! = e^(-4)

P(X = 1) = (4^1 * e^(-4)) / 1! = 4e^(-4)

So P(X ≥ 2) = 1 - (e^(-4) + 4e^(-4)) = 1 - (5e^(-4))

= 1 - 0.018

= 0.982
