题目
During an annual beach-clean, the people doing the clean are asked to conduct a litter survey. At a particular beach-clean, litter was found at a rate of 4 items per square metre.
(a) Find the probability that, in a randomly selected area of 2 square metres on this beach, exactly 5 items of litter were found.
Of the litter found on the beach, 30% of the items were face masks.
(b) Find the probability that, in a randomly selected area of 5 square metres on this beach, more than 4 face masks were found.
(c) Using a suitable approximation, find the probability that, in a randomly selected area of 20 square metres on this beach, less than 60 items of litter were found that were not face masks.

题目中文翻译
在一次年度海滩清洁活动中,清洁人员被要求进行垃圾调查。在一次特定的海滩清洁中,垃圾的发现速率为每平方米 4 件。
(a) 求在此海滩上随机选择的 2 平方米区域内恰好发现 5 件垃圾的概率。
在海滩上发现的垃圾中,30% 为口罩。
(b) 求在此海滩上随机选择的 5 平方米区域内发现超过 4 个口罩的概率。
(c) 使用适当的近似方法,求在此海滩上随机选择的 20 平方米区域内发现少于 60 件非口罩垃圾的概率。

解答
(a)
解法一

每平方米平均发现 4 件垃圾,因此 2 平方米内的平均数为 8。固定区域内的垃圾件数可用泊松分布建模,所求是恰好 5 件的概率。

Let be the number of litter items found in an area of . Then
Therefore,
(b)

思路

5 平方米内的垃圾平均数为 ,其中 30% 为口罩,所以口罩的平均数为 6。利用泊松分布的分类性质,口罩数服从均值为 6 的泊松分布;“超过 4 个”可用补事件计算。

Let be the number of face masks found in an area of . Its mean is
so
Therefore,
(c)

思路
展开
20 平方米内垃圾总数的平均数为 80,其中 70% 不是口罩,所以非口罩垃圾数服从均值为 56 的泊松分布。由于均值较大,可用均值和方差均为 56 的正态分布近似。“少于 60”即不超过 59,连续性修正后的边界为 59.5。
