In a Poisson distribution, if \(\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=5)}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=2)}=\frac{1}{7500}\) and \(\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=5)}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=3)}=\frac{1}{500}\), then the mean of the distribution is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{15}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{25}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=5)}{\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=2)} = \frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^5/5!}{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^2/2!} = \frac{\lambda^3}{5 \times 4 \times 3} = \frac{\lambda^3}{60}\) \(\frac{\lambda^3}{60} = \frac{1}{7500}\) \(\lambda^3 = \frac{60}{7500} = \frac{1}{125}\)…
