Question
Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year period, and the total 280 city-years included a total of 153 homicides. After finding the mean number of homicides per city-year, find the probability that a randomly
selected city-year has the following numbers of homicides, then compare the actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities:
Homicides each city-year
а. О
b. 1
с. 2
d. 3
е. 4
Actual results
162
89
24
4
1
a. P(0) =
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
b. P(1) =D
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
c. P(2) =
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
d. P(3) =
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
e. P(4) =
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
The actual results consisted of 162 city-years with 0 homicides; 89 city-years with one homicide; 24 city-years with two homicides; 4 city-years with three homicides; 1 city-year with four homicides. Compare the
actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities. Does the Poisson distribution serve as a good tool for predicting the actual results?
