  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \[ 3 P(X=4)=\frac{1}{2} P(X=2)+P(X=0) \] \(X\) is poisson distribution this gives \[ P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^x}{x !}, \quad[x=0,1,2, \ldots] \] Now, \(3 P(X=4)=\frac{1}{2} P(X=2)+P(X=0)\)…
