If the mean of a poisson distribution is \(\frac{1}{3}\), then the ratio \(P(X=1): P(X=2)\) is

  1. A \(1: 2\)
  2. B \(3: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 6\)
  4. D \(6: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Mean of Poisson distribution \(=1 / 3\) For a Poisson distribution, the mean is equal to the parameter. Hence, the parameter is \(1 / 3\). \(\therefore \quad P(X=1)=\frac{e^{-1 / 3}(1 / 3)^1}{1 !}\) \(=e^{-1 / 3}(1 / 3)\)…
