(b) Probability of no cacti in 10,000 square meters.
(c) Area of a region such that the probability of at least two cacti in the region is 0.9.
ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 3:
The number of saguaro cacti in a region follows a poisson distribution with a mean of 280 per square kilometer.
- We have to find the mean number of cacti per 10,000 square meters.
- We have to find the probability of no cacti in 10,000 square meters.
- We have to find the area of a region such that a probability of at least two cacti in the region is 0.9
