[8] Suppose that the number of customers that arrive at an AT&T wireless store can be modeled by a Poisson Distribution, with a mean of 3 customer arrivals every hour. Suppose that the store manager needs to run out of the store for a period of 10 minutes. (a) Compute the probability that no customers will arrive at the AT&T store in that 10-minute period. (b) Compute the probability that three or more customers arrive in that 10-minute period.

On Monday mornings, the First National Bank only has one teller window open for deposits and withdrawals. Experience has shown that the average number of arriving customers in a four-minute interval on Monday mornings is 1.8, and each teller can serve more than that number efficiently. These random arrivals at this bank on Monday mornings are Poisson distributed. Find the probability that within four minutes interval at least one customer will arrive.
Suppose the numbers of times that vending machine A and vending machine B are out of order in a month follow Poisson distributions with means 1 and 2 respectively. Find the probabilities that (a) both vending machines A and B are out of order for 3 times in a month, (b) exactly one vending machine is out of order once in a month, (c) both vending machines A and B work properly for 2 consecutive months. (Give your answers correct to 3 significant figures.)
If you know that every 30 minutes, a plane takes off from Jeddah Airport to Riyadh Airport, starting at 10 am. If a group of passengers arrives at Jeddah airport at a time that follows the regular continuous distribution between 6:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., then what is the likelihood that passengers wait for the plane less than 15 minutes
The number of traffic accidents at a certain intersection is thought to be well modeled by a Poisson process with a mean of 3 accidents per year. Find the probability that less than three months elapse between accidents.
Some previous studies have shown a relationship between emergency-room admissions per day and level of pollution on a given day. A small local hospital finds that the number of admissions to the emergency ward on a single day ordinarily (unless there is unusually high pollution) follows a Poisson distribution with mean = 2.0 admissions per day. Suppose each admitted person to the emergency ward stays there for exactly 1 day and is then discharged. The hospital is planning a new emergency-room facility. It wants enough beds in the emergency ward so that for at least 95% of normal-pollution days it will not need to turn anyone away. What is the smallest number of beds it should have to satisfy this criterion? Answer the previous question for a random day during the year.
Yhmeer is watching a shower of meteors (shooting stars). During the shower, he sees meteors at an average rate of 1.3 per minute. (a) State the conditions required for a Poisson distribution to be a suitable model for the number of meteors which Yhmeer sees during a randomly selected minute (b) Using Excel or otherwise, determine the probability that, during one minute, Yhmeer sees (i) exactly one meteor (ii) at least 4 meteors
(b) Suppose the number of customers at a Sushi outlet is Poisson distributed where an average of nineteen customers are served per 30 minutes. (i) Over a fifteen-minute period, how many customers are served on average? Find the probability of exactly seven customers served over a fifteen-minute period. Write your answer correct to 4 decimal places. (iii) Calculate the probability at least 1 customer is served over a fifteen-minute period. Write your answer correct to 4 decimal places.
Assume that arrivals of cars at a gas station can be modeled by a Poisson process with rate 2 cars per hour. What is the probability that one has to wait at least 3 hours for the arrival of 3 cars?
A manufacturing company claims that the number of machine breakdowns follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of two breakdowns every 500 hours. Let x denote the time (in hours0 between successive breakdowns. assuming that the manufacturing company's claim is true, find the probability that the time between successive breakdowns is at most five hours.
(a) On the average, it is known that 6 customers arrive at a restaurant per hour according to a Poisson distribution. Find the probability that 10 customers arrived at the restaurant in the next hour. (i) (ii) (iii) 5 to 7 customers arrived at the restaurant in the next 2 hours. less than I customer arrived at the restaurant in the next 30 minutes. (b) Suppose the probability that there will be no cars arriving at a service centre per hour is 0.20. Determine the expected number of cars that will arrive at the service centre in the next hour.
The arrival of customers to a small local food restaurant may be modeled by a Poisson process with rate of 1 per 15 min period. Assume customer will only arrive if there is at least one customer present. Each customer on average stays for a time exponentially distributed with mean 20 minutes. This is modeled as a birth-death process. (i) Compute the probability that the capacity of 20 will be reached if we start with 5 customers.
