1.(a) Suppose that X1;X2;X3;X4 are independent random observations drawn from a Pois-
son distribution with mean  = 1
4
. Let X denote the sample mean:
X = X1 + X2 + X3 + X4

. Show your working. [3 marks]

(b) Suppose that X has a Poisson distribution with mean t. Let Y  Gamma(k; ),
where k is a positive integer.

By showing that both the left side and the right side of the equation below can be
regarded as the probability of the same event in a Poisson process in which the expected
number of occurrences per unit of time is , explain why the following identity is true:
P(X  k) = P(Y  t)
