The random variable $X$ is Poisson distributed with mean $\mu$ and satisfies $P(x=3)=P(x=0)+P(x=1).$ a) Find the value of $\mu,$ correct to four decimal places. b) For this value of $\mu$ evaluate $P(2 \leqslant x \leqslant 4)$
Probability Distributions
Poisson distribution
Assume that X is a Poisson random variable with ÎĽ = 3. Calculate the following probabilities. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 4 decimal places.) a) P(X=6) b) P(X=4) c) P(X<= 1)
