In honour of the author's anniversary, a radio program offers to give an out of print book to the one who calls 100th after the beginning of thebroadcast. The calls to the program are modelled by a non-homogeneous Poisson process, and the average number of calls in t hours is (5t)?.Find the probability that the 100th call will be received in no more than 15 minutes (t = 0.25), if the 98th call was made 12 minutes after thebeginning of the broadcast.0.890.110.0760.002

In a non-homogeneous Poisson process, the number of arrivals in any particular interval follows a…

At an Ingo Armenia call center, calls come in at an average rate of one call every 4 minutes. Assume that the time that elapses from one call to the next has the exponential distribution. Find the probability that the next call will arrive within 5 minutes after the first call.
The time between successive calls to a corporate office is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes. Assume that the times between successive calls are independent of each other. Thus, the calls arrive according to a Poisson process. What is the probability that there are no calls within a one-hour interval?
Calculate each Poisson probability: a. P(X= 6), A =7 (Round your answer to 4 declmal places.) Probability b. P(X= 11), A = 10 (Round your answer to 4 declmal places.) Probability c. P(X= 2). A = 9 (Round your answer to 4 declmal places.) Probability

Assume that adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 48% use them in meetings or classes. If 10 adult smartphone users are randomly selected, find the probability that fewer than 4 of them use their smartphone in meetings or classes. The probability is? Round to four decimal places as needed.
The time between successive calls to a corporate office is exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes. Assume that the times between successive calls are independent of each other. Thus, the calls arrive according to a Poisson process. Determine x such that the probability that there are no calls within x minutes is 0.005.
A microprocessor that controls the tuner in color TVs fails completely at random (that is, according to the exponential distribution). Suppose that the likelihood that a microprocessor that has survived for k years fails in year k + 1 is .0036. What is the cumulative distribution function of the time until failure of the microprocessor?

If 8passengers are randomly selected, find the probability that fewer than 6 of them 6 show up.Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to two decimal places.
Despite all efforts by the quality control department, the fabric made at benton corporation always contains a few defects. A certain type of fabric made at this corporation contains an average of 0.51 defects per 500 yards. Using the Poisson formula, find the probability that the number of defects in a given 500-yard piece of this fabric will be between two and four.P(between 2 and 4) =
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.
