4.4. An individual picked at random from a population has a propensity to have accidents that is modelled by a random variable Y having the gamma distribution with shape parameter α and rate parameter β. Given Y = y, the number of accidents that the individual suffers in years 1, 2, . . . , n are independent random variables X1, X2, . . . Xn each having the Poisson distribution with parameter y.

Suppose the distribution of the time $X$ (in hours) spent by students at a certain university on a particular project is gamma with parameters $\alpha=50$ and $\beta=2 .$ Because $\alpha$ is large, it can be shown that $X$ has approximately a normal distribution. Use this fact to compute the approximate probability that a randomly selected student spends at most 125 hours on the project.
