Suppose the math tutoring lab sees 56 students on a typical Tuesday and that the number of students per day is Poisson distributed. a. Find P(X ≤ 43). What function or formula did you use to answer this question? On my TI-84 Plus, I did a PoissonCDF with Lambda = 56 and the x value = 43. This resulted in 0.04309... Was I correct in using the PoissonCDF, or should I have used the PoissonPDF? b. What is the probability that more than 60 students will come in next Tuesday? Likewise, on my TI-84 Plus, I did a PoissonCDF with Lambda = 60 and the x value = 56. This resulted in 0.7309... Was I correct in assuming that the Lambda is 60 and the x value is 56?

At 15:00 it is the end of the school day, and it is assumed that the departure of the students from school can be modelled by a Poisson distribution. On average, 24 students leave the school every minute. (e) There are 200 days in a school year. Given that Y denotes the number of days in the year that at least 700 students leave before 15:30, find (ii) P(Y > 150).
