Section 4.3, Page 184, #18 Extra Credit (10 pts) Check out this website about the simulating the Poisson distribution with an example of sharks in Australia. href=http://www.math.csusb.edu/faculty/stanton/m262/poisson_distribution/ Poisson.html a) run the simulation with different values of lambda including some values less than 1. Sample at least 100 at each lambda value b) How does the mode of the resulting sample distribution compare to lambda? c) Tell what you have learned about the shape of the histogram of the Poisson distribution with varying lambda. EXAM #2 This exam will cover material in chapters 3 and 4. There will be a review session by Dr. Swartzman the day before the exam during office hours. |
