At Burnt Mesa Pueblo In One Of The Archaeological Excavation Sites The Artifact Density Number Of Prehistoric Artifac 1 (50.45 KiB) Viewed 90 times

At Burnt Mesa Pueblo, in one of the archaeological excavation sites, the artifact density (number of prehistoric artifacts per 10 liters of sediment) was 1.9. Suppose you are going to dig up and examine 46 liters of sediment at this site. Letr - 0, 1, 2, 3, ... be a random variable that represents the number of prehistoric artifacts found in your 46 liters of sediment. (a) Explain why the Poisson distribution would be a good choice for the probability distribution of r. Finding prehistoric artifacts is a rare occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are dependent. Finding prehistoric artifacts is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent. Finding prehistoric artifacts is a rare occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent Finding prehistoric artifacts is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are dependent. What is ? Write out the formula for the probability distribution of the random variable r. (Use e, f, and r in your answer.) P(I) = (b) Compute the probabilities that in your 46 liters of sediment you will find two prehistoric artifacts, three prehistoric artifacts, and four prehistoric artifacts. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) P(2) - P(3) = P(4) (0) Find the probability that you will find three or more prehistoric artifacts in the 46 liters of sediment. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (d) Find the probability that you will find fewer than three prehistoric artifacts in the 46 liters of sediment. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
