[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.

The number of people arriving per hour at the emergency room (ER) of a local hospital seeking medical attention can be modeled by the Poisson distribution, with a mean of 13 people per hour. The inter-arrival time, X, is defined as the time that passes between successive arrivals of patients seeking medical attention. (a) How much time in minutes would you expect to pass between the arrival of successive patients seeking medical attention at this ER, in any given hour? Enter your answer to two decimals. minutes If you need to use your answer in part (a) for the remaining parts of this question, use two decimals. (b) A person has just arrived at the ER to receive medical attention. What is the probability that at most 3 minutes will pass until the next person seeking medical attention arrives? Use four decimals in your answer. If necessary, use your a P(X ≤ 3) (c) It has been 4 minutes since the last person seeking medical attention arrived at the ER. What is the probability that at…
Consider an auto insurance portfolio where the number of accidents follows a Poisson distribution with parameter lamda = 1000. Suppose the damage sizes for separate accidents are i.i.d. (independent identically distributed) r.v.'s having an exponential distribution with a mean of $2500. Each policy involves a deductible of $500. Let N1 be the number of accidents that result in claims, and N2 be the number of accidents that do not result in claims. Answer the following questions 1-5. 1. Are N1, N2 dependent? 2. What is the name of the distributions of N1, N2? Compound Poisson or Marked Poisson? 3. What is the mean and variance of N1? 4. What is the mean and variance of N2? 5. Which of the number is close to the probability that N1 will not be larger than 790? (Hint: to what distribution is the Poisson distribution with a parameter of lamda close for "large" lamda's?
The number of traffic accidents at a certain intersection is thought to be well modeled by a Poisson process with a mean of 3.5 accidents per year. Find the probability that more than one year elapses between accidents.
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.)
Suppose that earthquakes occur according to a Poisson process with rate λ = 0.2 per day. (a) What is the probability that there will be 2 or fewer earthquakes in April? (b) Starting from now, what is the probability that the second earthquake will occur within a week?
A petrol pump station has 4 pumps. The service times follow the exponential distribution with a mean of 6 minutes and cars arrive for service in a Poisson process at the rate of 30 cars per hour. (i) What is the probability that an arrival would have to wait in line?(ii) Find the average waiting time, the average time a car spent in the system and the average number of cars in the system. (iii) For what percentage of time would a pump be idle an an average?
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.
(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.
(c) Does this Poisson distribution provide a good model for the number of accidents in this example (as per Table 1)? Explain why or why not. Use R to produce a graph to help support your answer (produce the R as part of your answer). (d) Use the model in (b) to estimate the probability that less than 2 accidents were recorded in any randomly chosen week. How does this compare to the actual data?
