Define Cumulative Poisson distribution.
Solution:
A cumulative Poisson distribution is used to calculate the probability of getting atleast n
successes in a Poisson experiment. Here, n is the Poisson random variable which refers to the
number of success.
Formula:
P(x < n) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + ... + P(x = n) where, P(x = 0) and P(x = 1) is calculated using
Poisson distribution formula.

Question No: 44 ( Marks: 3 )

Four friends take an IQ test. Their scores are 96, 100, 106, 114. Which of the following statements is
true? Give reason. I. The mean is 103.

II. The mean is 104.

III. The median is 100.
IV. The median is 106.
(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) III only
(D) IV only
(E) None is true

Solution:
The correct answer is (B). The mean score is computed from the equation:
Mean score = _x / n = (96 + 100 + 106 + 114) / 4 = 104
Since there are an even number of scores (4 scores), the median is the average of the two middle
scores. Thus, the median is (100 + 106) / 2 = 103

Question No: 45 ( Marks: 3 )
