15.3 Exercise 15

Avg difficulty 2.5

Suppose the number of Japanese visitors to Florida in a week is N1∼N 1 \sim Poisson (500) and the number of German visitors is N2∼N 2 \sim Poisson (300). If 25 percent of the Japanese and 20 percent of the Germans visit Disney World, what is the distribution for the total number D of German and Japanese visitors to the park? Determine P(D≥k)P \left(D \geq k\right) for k=150,155,⋯,245,250k = 150 , 155 , \hdots , 245 , 250.
