In honour of the author's anniversary, a radio program offers to give an out of print book to the one who calls 100th after the beginning of the
broadcast. The calls to the program are modelled by a non-homogeneous Poisson process, and the average number of calls in t hours is (5t)?.
Find the probability that the 100th call will be received in no more than 15 minutes (t = 0.25), if the 98th call was made 12 minutes after the
beginning of the broadcast.

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?
A company has 9000 arrivals of Internet traffic over a period of 20,740 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)=μx•e−μx! to find the probability of exactly 3 arrivals in one thousandth of a minute, what are the values of μ, x, and e that would be used in that formula?

From past experience, they know that purchases at the site will occur as a Poisson process with on average 20 purchases every 10 minutes. What is the probability that the eighth purchase will occur between 3.5 minutes and 4.5 minutes after the site opens? Give your answer to four decimal places.
A company has 8000 arrivals of Internet traffic over a period of 17,460 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.

The time between successive calls to a corporate office is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes. Assume that the times between successive calls are independent of each other. Thus, the calls arrive according to a Poisson process. a. If four nonoverlapping20 minutes intervals are selected, what is the probability that none of these intervals contains any call? b. What is the probability that the first occurrence in which the time between two calls exceeds 10 minutes is betweenthe fourth andthe fifth calls?
