Suppose that astronomers estimate that large meteors (above a certain size) hit the earth on average once every 100 years (lamda = 1 event per 100 years), and that the number of meteor hits follows a Poisson distribution. What is the probability of k = 4 meteors hits in the next 100 years?

SOURCE: Poisson

Hello
To raise a number to any power you use the [^] caret key or on some calculators the [x^y] (x raised to exponent y)

20^(4) =160000

20 to the power of negative 3
20[^] 3 [(-) or +/-] ENTER gives 1.25x10^(-4) = 0.000125 (-) is the small minus sign.

If that gives you a syntax error
20[^] [(-) or +/-] 3[ENTER] = 0.000125

27 [^] (1/3] represents the cube root of 27 which is 3.
Hope it helps.

SOURCE: BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION

Hello,
Let us start with a review of the formula for the binomial distribution
f(r;n,p)=n!/(r!(n-r)!)x(p^r)x(1-p)^(n-r)

But n!/(r!(n-r)!)=(nCr) you get
f(r;n,p)= (nCr)x(p^r)x(1-p)^(n-r)

Exemple : n=25, r=6, p=0.7

f(6;25,0.7)= 25 [PRB] [-->] 6 [ x ] {0.7[ ^] 6 }[ x ]{0.3[ ^ ]19}

The arrow means a horizontal scroll once to select the (nCr) function. [ x ] stands for the multiplication sign.
[ ^] is the raise to the power key
The { } are used here as parentheses to make formula legible.

Calculation of Poisson distribution

First, the Poisson Distribution describes events which have a small probability of occurrence at any very precise single value, like 3.546732190, but which nonetheless occur very very frequently in a range of values. Also the mean or average or expected value are the same as the variance, in your case, three (I think you meant three).

So looking up the tables for this (or plugging it in Excel) the prob x=4 exactly is 0.1680

Probability distribution n=2 x=2 p=.80 P(2)

There are a lot of probability distributions: binomial, chi-square, F, normal, poisson, and t, just to name a few. Do you have a particular one in mind?

How do I work the poissonpdf fuction?

The poissonpdf function computes a probability at x for the discrete Poisson distribution with the specified mean u, which must be a real number >0. x can be an integer or a list of integers.

As an example, to compute the probability with mean 1.9 and x=4, press
2ND [DISTR] ALPHA [C]
enter 1.9 on the first line and press ENTER
enter 4 on the second line and press ENTER
press ENTER again.
This will paste poissonpdf(1.9,4) onto the command line. Press ENTER again to see the result (about 0.08).

I have a warning light that comes on and off on my 1999 Volvo S40. The light is like a "y" letter upside down in a green triangle on a orange back ground. Please help

I think that this is the Lamda warning light which is an indication that the fuel / air mixture is not correct or the Lamda sensor mounted on the manifold is defective.
