The inhabitants of a city develop skin cancer at an approximate rate A. For thosepeople who have developed skin cancer, some proportion p E (0, 1) will die from thedisease.Assume a simple model such that n, the number of people who develop skin cancer, isdistributed Poisson(A). Let X denote the people who die from skin cancer in this city.Then, assuming that every cancer patient is independent of the others, and that theproportion p is constant:n ~ Poisson(X)X\n - Binomial(n, p)Question 5:What is the distribution of n X?n – X|X~ BinomialX(1-p)1- pWe do not have enough information to answer this question.n|XPoisson(Xp)On - X|X ~ Poisson(A(1 – p)1for n > xn|X ~ fn|x (n|x) =n!1- Di-oi!0.w.

In bacterial counts with a haemacytometer, the number of bacteria per quadrat has a Poisson distribution with probability mass function f(x), where f(x) = θ x e −θ/x! and θ is to be estimated. If there are many bacteria in a quadrat, it is difficult to count them all, and so the only information recorded is that the number of bacteria exceeds a certain limit c, a large positive integer. In a random sample of n quadrats, it was.
