The number of supermarkets in the City of East Tampa follows a Poisson process with the mean number of supermarkets equal to 0.12 supermarkets per square mile. Assuming that the population is evenly spread across the city, does it meet the food desert criterion that at least 33 percent of the population lives more than 1 mile from a supermarket? Hint: Think about the connection between the percent of the population that lives more than 1 mile from a supermarket and the probability that there are no supermarkets within 1 mile of a particular resident of East Tampa. 4.
