comments:
in this graph we have number of trials is equal to 12 and first one it
probability of success is 0.3 while in second one probability of success is
0.7.
we can see that mean of both distribution is different and but variance is
same because since probability of success of both binomial probabilities are
related to each other if we observe that in what is the probability of
failure for 1st distribution ,is probability of success of for second one
thus one represents success probability and other represents probability of
failure so both have same variance.

Comments:

We have compared the same these earlier graph with the current graphs what we have in 1 st task.
Difference is just in number of trials while same thing we can observe that same variance were
calculated for earlier graph reason for what I have already explained.

Task 3:
Generate poission distribution with the following parameter:Lamda=7, lamda=10;

Code:
x = 0:18;
pdf1= poisspdf(x,7);
pdf2 = poisspdf(x,10);
subplot(121),plot(x,pdf1,'+')
xlabel('X');ylabel('f(X)');
title('lamda=7');
subplot(122),plot(x,pdf2,'*')
xlabel('X');ylabel('f(X)');
title('lamda=10');

Comments:
In the above graph, the two different Poisson distribution with mean 7 and 10 are drawn and we can
see clear that both have highest value at their corresponding means. Since we know that Poisson
distribution is often used to model the inter arrival time between packets so if above graph are also

MUHAMMAD NAVEED SHAIKH (08TL19) Page 3

showing same inter arrival time then we can see that time between two packets is mostly 7 and 10
seconds respectively.

TASK#4:

Also calculate cdf for above Poisson Distribution.

Codes:

x = 0:18;
cdf1= poisscdf(x,7);
cdf2 = poisscdf(x,10);
subplot(121),plot(x,cdf1,'k+')
xlabel('X');ylabel('F(X)');
title('lamda=7');
subplot(122),plot(x,cdf2,'k*')
xlabel('X');ylabel('F(X)');
title('lamda=10');

These are cumulative distributions of above Poisson distributions , we can see that its maximum value is

Comparision between binomial and poisson distribution using plot command;
x = 0:18;
n=18;p=0.3;
lamda=n*p
pdf1= binopdf(x,n,p);
pdf2 = poisspdf(x,lamda);

Comments:

In above graphs,left one is binomial graph with value of n= 18 and n=0.3 and distribution
which is shown on right hand side is poisson distribution lamda=18*0.3=5.4

We can see that both have maximum value at same value of n but still there is a difference
between them .Since we know that when n tends to infinity and p tends to zero then binomial

MUHAMMAD NAVEED SHAIKH (08TL19) Page 5

becomes poisson distribution if we further increase the value of n and decrease the value of p
then we can have better approximations.
