(1) Suppose earthquakes recorded in Ontario each year follow a Poisson process with an averageof 6 per year. The probability that 7 earthquakes will be recorded in a 2 year period is f(7) == .0437. We have used λ = 6 and t = 2 to get μ = 12.127e-12(2) At a nuclear power station an average of 8 leaks of heavy water are reported per year. Find theprobability of 2 or more leaks in 1 month, if leaks follow a Poisson process.

Roll two fair dice. Use the Poisson approximation to find the probability that you will rollat least one double (meaning both dice land on the same value) in 24 trials. How does this compare tothe exact value? Answer as if explaining to someone.
Suppose we have a bucket of 20 balls with 10 red and 10 green. We take 5 draws and after each draw, we remove the chosen ball from the bucket before our next draw (this is called drawing without replacement). Can we use the binomial distribution to model this scenario? Why or why not?
