Question

The Poisson distribution is very useful in analyzing phenomena which occur randomly in space or time. The number X, of spam phone calls which arrive at my house in an hour can be modeled as a Poisson random variable with parameter ? = 9. The number Y, of spam phone calls which arrive at my house in 2 hours can also be modeled as a Poisson random variable with parameter 

?y

 .

a. For our model, what is expected value of X? 
b. What is the probability that X = 7? 
c. What is the probability that X < 7? 
d. What is the probability that X > 7 
e. What is the probability that X = 9 
f. Y also has a Poisson distribution. What is the parameter 

?y

 for Y? 
g. What is variance of X? 
h. What is the standard deviation of X? 
i. What is the probability that Y = 9 
j. What is the probability that Y > 9?
