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:
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.
