  4. D \(4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

It is given that for a random variable \(X\), the poisson distribution with variance 3 . So, \(\lambda=3\) and we know that, \(P(X=r)=\frac{3^r e^{-3}}{r !}\) and \(P(X=r)\) will be maximum for some \(r \in[2,3]\) From given option \(r=2\)
