Suppose that the number of eggs that a hen lays follows the Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 2. Assume further that each of the eggs hatches with probability p = 0.8, and different eggs hatch independently. Let X denote the total number of survivors.
(i) What is the distribution of X?
(ii) What is the probability that there is an even number of survivors?
(iii) Compute the probability mass function of the random variable sin(πX/2) and its expectation.

The number of medical emergency calls per hour has a Poisson
distribution with parameter λ. A time record of emergency calls is
available for a sufficient amount of time and parameter λ is
assumed to be the same through out the available recording of calls
and sufficiently large.
Determine an unbiased estimator of
λ2 and estimate its efficiency.
If λ = 2, what is the probability of at least 16 emergency calls
in the 5 consecutive hours of a single...

Let X denote a random variable that follows a binomial
distribution with parameters n=5, p=0.3, and Y denote a random
variable that has a Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 6.
Additionally, assume that X and Y are independent random
variables.
