Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a restaurant chef prepares a tossed salad containing, on average, 5 vegetables per day.
We can assume the number of vegetables used by the chef per day is
Poisson with parameter = mean = 5
We are to find the probability that the salad contains more than 7 vegetables on i) a given day and on ii)3 of the next 6 days?
a) P(no of vegetables >7) = 1-F(7) = 1-0.8666
=0.1334
b) For 6 days we can say each day is independent of the other
Prb( veg >3) for 6 days
= P(veg>3)^6
[tex]=(1-0.2650)^6\\=0.1576[/tex]
