In a recent year, a hospital had 4469 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 15 births. Does it appear likely that on any given day, there will be exactly 15 births? The mean number of births per day is 12.2. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The probability that, in a day, there are 15 births is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) It is for a day to have exactly 15 births because the probability is

Step 1
Given that there were 4469 births in a year and there are 365 days in a year, the mean number of births per day is: Mean = 4469 / 365 = 12.24 (rounded to one decimal place) Show more…

In a recent year, a hospital had 4193 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? The mean number of births per day is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The probability that, in a day, there are 14 births is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) It is for a day to have exactly 14 births because the probability is relatively close to 0. less than 0.05. greater than 0.05. relatively close to 1. Enter your answer in each of the answer boxes.

In a recent year, a hospital had 4233 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 13 births. Does it appear likely that on any given day, there will be exactly 13 births? The mean number of births per day is . (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The probability that, in a day, there are 13 births is . (Round to three decimal places as needed.) It is for a day to have exactly 13 births because the probability is

Use the Poisson distribution to find the indicated probabilities. In a recent year, NYU-Langone Medical Center had 4221 birhs. Find the mean number of births per day, then use that result to find the probability that in a day, there are 15 births. Does it appear likely that on any given day, there will be exactly 15 births?
