Suppose taxicab arrivals from 3 to 5 p.m. are a Poisson process. If the cabs arrive at an average rate of 18 per hour, what is the probability that a person will have to wait up to 5 minutes for a cab?
Consider the M/M/1 queueing system with arrival rate λ > 0 and service rate μ > 0. (a) Compute the expected number of arrivals during a service time (also called service period). (b) Compute the probability that no customers arrive during a service period.
A company has 9000 arrivals of Internet traffic over a period of 18,050 thousandths of a minute. Let the random variable x represent the number of such Internet traffic arrivals in one thousandth of a minute. It appears that these Internet arrivals have a Poisson distribution. If we want to use the formula P(x)= (μ^x • e^−μ) / x! to find the probability of exactly 2 arrivals in one thousandth of a minute, what are the values of μ, x, and e that would be used in that formula?

Suppose that the number of customers arriving to a store follows the Poisson process with rate 1/λ per minute. Choose an option that is not correct. The expected number of customers arriving to the store between 9am and 11am is twice bigger than the expected number of customers arriving to the store between 10am and 11am. The number of customers arriving to the store between 9am and 10am is independent of the number of customers arriving to the store between 10am and 11am. The expected number of customers arriving to the store between 9am and 10am is 60λ. The number of customers arriving to the store between 9am and 10am follows the same distribution as the number of customers arriving to the store between 10am and 11am

2a) The number of flowers per square meter in Sarah’s garden has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.35. Her garden is covered with 150 square meters of grass. Find lambda λ? 2b) The number of flowers per square meter in Sarah’s garden has a Poisson distribution with mean 0.35. Her garden is covered with 150 square meters of grass. Using Normal approximation, we will need to find the probability that the Sarah’s garden will contain less than 45 flowers. First graph and answer what is the continuity correction? 2c) Using the previous results for lambda and continuity correction, find z, then graph and use your table to find φ table value of z Write down your final answer for the probability that Sarah’s garden will contain less than 45 flowers as a decimal number with 4 decimal places.
