题目
Sales of cell phones at a certain shop occur singly, randomly and independently.
(a) State one further condition that must be satisfied for the number of sales in a certain time period to be well modelled by a Poisson distribution.
The average number of sales per hour is .
Assume now that a Poisson distribution is a suitable model.
(b) Find the probability that the number of sales during a randomly chosen -hour period will be more than and less than .
(c) Use a suitable approximating distribution to find the probability that the number of sales during a randomly chosen -month period ( hours) will be less than .
题目中文翻译
某商店的手机逐部售出,每次售出都是随机且相互独立的。
(a) 要用泊松分布恰当地描述某段时间内售出的手机数量,还必须满足一个条件。写出这个条件。
每小时平均售出 部手机。
现在假设泊松分布是一个合适的模型。
(b) 随机选取一段 小时的时间,求这段时间内售出的手机多于 部且少于 部的概率。
(c) 随机选取一段为期 个月( 小时)的时间,用合适的近似分布求这段时间内售出的手机少于 部的概率。
原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。
