Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(X = 0) = 0.6997[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mean is [tex]\mu = 2.8[/tex]
Generally the Poisson distribution constant [tex]\lambda[/tex] is mathematically represented as
[tex]\lambda = \frac{1}{\mu }[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = \frac{1}{2.8 }[/tex]
=> [tex]\lambda = 0.3571[/tex]
Generally the probability distribution for Poisson distribution is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{(\lambda t)^x e^{-t \lambda}}{x!}[/tex]
Here t = 1 day
Generally the probability that no babies are born today is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{(0.3571 * 1 )^0 e^{-1 * 0.3571}}{0!}[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X = 0) = 0.6997[/tex]
