Problem
(a) Two ponds, A and B, each contain a large number of fish. It is known that 2.4% of fish in pond A are carp and 1.8% of fish in pond B are carp. Random samples of 50 fish from pond A and 60 fish from pond B are selected.
Use appropriate Poisson approximations to find the following probabilities.
(i) The samples contain at least 2 carp from pond A and at least 2 carp from pond B.
(3)
(ii) The samples contain at least 4 carp altogether.
(3)
(b) The random variables X and Y have the distributions Po(λ) and Po(μ) respectively. It is given that
- P(X=0)=[P(Y=0)]2,
- P(X=2)=k[P(Y=1)]2, where k is a non-zero constant.
Find the value of k.

(a) 两个池塘 A 和 B 各有许多鱼。已知池塘 A 有 2.4% 的鱼是鲤鱼,池塘 B 有 1.8% 的鱼是鲤鱼。从池塘 A 随机抽取 50 条鱼,从池塘 B 随机抽取 60 条鱼。
用适当的泊松近似求下列事件的概率。
(i) 样本中来自池塘 A 的鲤鱼至少有 2 条,来自池塘 B 的鲤鱼至少有 2 条。
(3)
(ii) 两个样本中合计至少有 4 条鲤鱼。

(b) 随机变量 X 和 Y 分别服从 Po(λ) 和 Po(μ) 分布。已知
- P(X=0)=[P(Y=0)]2,
- P(X=2)=k[P(Y=1)]2,其中 k 为非零常数。

(a)(i)

思路

两份样本中的鲤鱼数分别用Po1.2及Po1.08近似;各自至少两条的概率相乘。
答题过程

Let A and B be the numbers of carp in the respective samples.
The populations are large and the carp proportions are small, so use the independent Poisson approximations
A∼B∼Po(50(0.024))=Po(1.2),Po(60(0.018))=Po(1.08).
Hence
≈=P(A≥2, B≥2)[1−e−1.2(1+1.2)]×[1−e−1.08(1+1.08)]0.0991(3 s.f.).

独立Poisson变量之和仍为Poisson,参数相加;至少四条用前三条的补集。
答题过程

The total C=A+B is approximately Po(1.2+1.08)=Po(2.28).
Therefore
P(C≥4)≈=1−e−2.28(1+2.28+2!2.282)−e−2.283!2.2830.197(3 s.f.).

第一条概率关系给λ=2μ,代入第二条并消去共同的正因子。

The first given condition gives
e−λ=λ=(e−μ)2=e−2μ,2μ.
The second condition gives
e−λ2λ2=k(e−μμ)2.
Substituting λ=2μ,
2e−2μμ2=ke−2μμ2.
Cancelling the common positive factor, k=2.
