    Question
    HLPaper 1
    1.

    The random variable X has the Poisson distribution Po ( m ) . Given that P ( X > 0 ) = 3 4 , find the value of m in the form ln ⁡ a where a is an integer.

    Solution

    * This question is from an exam for a previous syllabus, and may contain minor differences in marking or structure.

    P( X > 0 ) = 1 − P( X = 0 ) (M1)

    ⇒ 1 − e − m = 3 4 or equivalent A1

    ⇒ m = ln ⁡ 4 A1

    2.

    The random variable Y has the Poisson distribution Po ( 2 m ) . Find P ( Y > 1 ) in the form b − ln ⁡ c c where b and c are integers.

    [4]
    Verified
    Solution

    P ( Y > 1 ) = 1 − P ( Y = 0 ) − P ( Y = 1 ) (M1)

    = 1 − e − 2 ln ⁡ 4 − e − 2 ln ⁡ 4 × 2 ln ⁡ 4 A1

    recognition that 2 ln ⁡ 4 = ln ⁡ 16 (A1)

    P ( Y > 1 ) = 15 − ln ⁡ 16 16 A1

    [4 marks]
