You set up a series of cameras along the Mexican border. The rate of appearances of Jaguars is 4/18 years. Your cameras also produce pictures of wolf-sized canids, either wolves or coy-wolves in the same region. Each year your cameras catch about 400 of these animals, about 60 cougars and about 700 bears and 1200 feral hogs. Assume that these numbers are all population rates for Poisson. Given your cameras catch a non human large animal (and the above list is all of them): i. What is the probability it is a jaguar? (Hint: Animals are independent. This is asking the conditional probability of a jaguar, given you see an animal) ii. What is the probability it is a feral hog? iii. Out of 25 large nonhuman animals, what is the probability that 15 or more are feral hogs? (Hint N=25, P is fixed, independent trials) iv. Out of 180 large non human animals what is the probability that between 100 and 170 are feral hogs?

Question

You set up a series of cameras along the Mexican border. The rate of appearances of Jaguars is 4/18 years.

Your cameras also produce pictures of wolf-sized canids, either wolves or coy-wolves in the same region. Each year your cameras catch about 400 of these animals, about 60 cougars and about 700 bears and 1200 feral hogs. Assume that these numbers are all population rates for Poisson. Given your cameras catch a non human large animal (and the above list is all of them):

i. What is the probability it is a jaguar? (Hint: Animals are independent. This is asking the conditional probability of a jaguar, given you see an animal)

ii. What is the probability it is a feral hog?

iii. Out of 25 large nonhuman animals, what is the probability that 15 or more are feral hogs? (Hint N=25, P is fixed, independent trials)

iv. Out of 180 large non human animals what is the probability that between 100 and 170 are feral hogs?
