Answer:
P(X = 7) = 0.11712
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given:
Average no. of claims received per week λ = 9
The required probability that exactly 7 claims will be received is determined by applying the Poisson distribution formula:
[tex]P(X=x) = \dfrac{\lambda ^x e^{-\lambda}}{x!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X=7) = \dfrac{9 ^7 e^{-9}}{7!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X=7) = \dfrac{4782969 \times1.23409804 \times 10^{-4}}{5040}[/tex]
[tex]P(X=7) = \dfrac{590.2652672}{5040}[/tex]
P(X = 7) = 0.11712
