Question

The following is a Poisson probability distribution with µ = 0.1.  The variance of the distribution is
A) 1.0 
B) 0.9046 
C) 3.0 
D) 0.1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a Poisson probability distribution, variance equals the mean (µ). Therefore, the variance of this distribution with µ = 0.1 is also 0.1. Thus, the correct answer is D.
