Suppose that the number of persons using an ATM in any given hour between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. can be modeled by a Poisson distribution with a mean of 12. In this case, the “unit of measure” is an hour of time during the business day. Let X be the number of periods who use the ATM in a given hour.
What is the standard deviation of the random variable X, i.e., the standard deviation of this Poisson distribution?
Express your answer to 2 decimal places of accuracy.
ANSWER::
Given that,
The mean of the poisson distribution is 12 .
= 12
The mean and variance of the poisson distribution is the same .
= 2 = 12
The standard deviation of this Poisson distribution
= 12
= 3.46
The standard deviation of this Poisson distribution = 3.46
