Question

If the probability that an individual suffers a bad reaction from an injection of a given serum is 0.001, then using Poisson's distribution, the probability that out of 2000 individuals, exactly 3 will suffer a bad reaction is:

A.

43e2\frac{4}{3} e^{-2} \\​​

B.

92e2\frac{9}{2} e^{-2} \\​​

C.

23e3 \frac{2}{3} e^{-3} \\​​

D.

43e3\frac{4}{3} e^{-3} \\​​

Correct option is A

Given:
p=0.001,n=2000λ=np=2000×0.001=2k=3p = 0.001, \quad n = 2000 \\\lambda = np = 2000 \times 0.001 = 2 \\k = 3 \\​​
Formula used:
P(X=k)=λkeλk!P(X = k) = \frac{\lambda^k \cdot e^{-\lambda}}{k!} \\​​
Solution:
P(X=3)=23e23!=8e26=43e2P(X = 3) = \frac{2^3 \cdot e^{-2}}{3!} = \frac{8 \cdot e^{-2}}{6} = \frac{4}{3} e^{-2} \\​​
Correct answer is (a)
