A nuclear particle counter records only every second particle arriving to the counter. If particles arrive in accord with a Poisson process of intensity A = 2 per minute, compute the probability of the counter recording k particles in the firstt minutes. Assume that the counter starts counting just after the arrival of the second particle. Choose the closest answer when k =t = 2, (A) 28% (В) 30% (C) 32% (D) 25% (E) 35%

Describe the distribution where radioactive particles are emitted at a poisson rate of 5 per second. Let W reflect the waiting time until the 20th particle. What is the expected time here?
You set up a series of cameras along the Mexican border. The rate of appearances of Jaguars is 4/18 years. Your cameras also produce pictures of wolf-sized canids, either wolves or coy-wolves in the same region. Each year your cameras catch about 400 of these animals, about 60 cougars and about 700 bears and 1200 feral hogs. Assume that these numbers are all population rates for Poisson. Given your cameras catch a non human large animal (and the above list is all of them): i. What is the probability it is a jaguar? (Hint: Animals are independent. This is asking the conditional probability of a jaguar, given you see an animal) ii. What is the probability it is a feral hog? iii. Out of 25 large nonhuman animals, what is the probability that 15 or more are feral hogs? (Hint N=25, P is fixed, independent trials) iv. Out of 180 large non human animals what is the probability that between 100 and 170 are feral hogs?

The number of students who fail per semester is often modeled as a Poisson random variable. Assume that on the average there are 5 students who fail per sem. d. If exponential distribution can model this system, what is the probability that there will be no failing students right after midterm? Let X denote the time in semesters from the start of the interval until the first failure and that a semester is divided by midterm period. e. Calculate the probability that there will be a failing student within the first semester. F. Calculate the probability that a failing student will be first spotted after midterm up to end of the first semester?
