Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 64.

We know in Poisson distribution mean = variance

Hence X will be normal after approximation as X is N(64,8)

Without continuity correction we find these by converting to Z score and using std normal distribution table.

a) [tex]P(X>80) = P(Z>\frac{80-64}{8} )\\=P(Z>2)\\=0.5-0.4772\\=0.0223[/tex]

b) [tex]P(60<X<68) = P(|x-64|<4) = P(\frac{|x-64|}{8} <0.5)\\=P(|Z|<0.5)\\= 2(0.1915)\\=0.3830[/tex]
