Question

In a recent year, a hospital had 4395 births. Find the mean number of births per day, then use that result and the Poisson distribution to find the probability that in a day, there are 14 births. Does it appear likely that on any given day, there will be exactly 14 births?

Step 1

Since there are 365 days in a year, we can find the mean number of births per day by dividing the total number of births by the number of days in a year. Mean number of births per day = $\frac{4395}{365}$ Show more…
