geometric probability

6. [1.25/3.25 Points] DETAILS PREVIOUS ANSWERS BBUNDERSTAT12 5.4.017. MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER A television program reported that the U.S. (annual) birth rate is about 24 per 1000 people, and the death rate is about 8 per 1000 people. (a) Explain why the Poisson probability distribution would be a good choice for the random variable r = number of births (or deaths) for a community of a given population size? O Frequency of births (or deaths) is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are dependent. Frequency of births (or deaths) is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent. O Frequency of births (or deaths) is a rare occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are dependent. Frequency of births (or deaths) is a rare occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent. (b) In a community of 1000 people, what is the (annual) probability of 10 births? What is the probability of 10 deaths? What is the probability of 13 births? 13 deaths? (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(10 births) = 0.0007 P(10 deaths) = 0.0993 P(13 births) = 0.0053 P(13 deaths) = 0.0296 (c) Repeat part (b) for a community of 1500 people. You will need to use a calculator to compute P(10 births) and P(13 births). (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(10 births) = 0.0007 X P(10 deaths) = P(13 births) = P(13 deaths) = (d) Repeat part (b) for a community of 750 people. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(10 births) = P(10 deaths) = P(13 births) = P(13 deaths) = Need Help? Read It
