  1. A \(\frac{1}{e^2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{3 e^2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{8}{3 e^2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{4}{3 e^2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{4}{3 e^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(p=0.001, n=2000\) \(\therefore \quad \text { Mean }=n p=2000 \times 0.001=2\) Using poisson distribution, \(\begin{aligned} & P(X=x)=\frac{\lambda^x e^{-x}}{x !} \\ \therefore \quad & P(X=3)=\frac{2^3 e^{-3}}{3 !}=\frac{4}{3 e^2} \end{aligned}\)
