STAT 418HW9 Solutions(pp. 195-196)63, 65, 71, 8063. Let N(t) = {the number of people who enter the casino in time t}. It is reasonable toassume that N (t) ∼ Poisson(λ). We are given that λ = 1/2 = .5, so we may use the Poissondistribution to approximate the requested probabilities.a.P (N (5) = 0) =e−.5∗5(.5 ∗ 5)00!= e−2.5= .0821b.P (N (5) ≥ 4) = 1 − P(N(5) = 0) − P (N(5) = 1) − P (N(5) = 2) − P (N (5) = 3)= 1 − e−2.5− (2.5)e−2.5−(2.5)2e−2.52−(2.5)3e−2.53!= .2424.65. This is a Binomial experiment. Let X = {the number of positive blood tests}. Wemay approximate the requested probabilities with the Poisson distribution, where λ = np =500/103= .5a.P (X > 0) = 1 − P (X = 0) = 1 − e−.5= .3935b.P (X > 1|X > 0) =1 − P (X = 0) − P (X = 1)P (X > 0)=1 − e−.5− .5 ∗ e−.51 − e−.5= .2293c. Given that Jones has the disease, more than one soldier has the disease if any of theremaining 499 have the disease. Let Y = {the number of positive tests for the remaining499 soldiers}.P (X > 1|Jones knowingly has the disease) = P (Y > 0) = 1−P (Y = 0) = 1−e−.499= .3927d. Following the same logic in part (c), there are 500 − i soldiers left who could have thedisease. Let Y = {the number of positive tests for the remaining 500 - i soldiers}.P (Y > 0) = 1 − P (Y = 0) = 1 − e(500−i)/100071.
