Environmental engineers, concerned about the effects of releasing warm water from a power plants cooling system into a Great lake, decided to sample many organism both inside and outside of a warm water plume. For the zoo-plankton Cyclops, they collect 100 cc of water and count the number of Cyclops. The expected number is 1.7 per 100 cc Use the poisson distribution to find the probability of 1 cyclops in 100 cc sample Less than or equal to 6 but more than one in a 100 cc sample Exactly 4 cyclops in a sample of a size 200 cc 2 or more cyclops in a sample of size 200 cc

Environmental engineers, concerned about the effects of releasing warm water from a power plants cooling system into a Great lake, decided to sample many organism both inside and outside of a warm water plume. For the zoo-plankton Cyclops, they collect 100 cc of water and count the number of Cyclops. The expected number is 1.7 per 100 cc

Use the poisson distribution to find the probability of

  • 1 cyclops in 100 cc sample
  • Less than or equal to 6 but more than one in a 100 cc sample
  • Exactly 4 cyclops in a sample of a size 200 cc
  • 2 or more cyclops in a sample of size 200 cc
