Let Ws be the number of presents per hour produced by a Senior Elf in Santa's workshop. Ws is a Poisson random variable with probability mass function 2ke-2 P(Ws = k) = for k e {0,1, 2, 3, ...}. k! A Junior Elf produces W, presents per hour, also according to a Poisson distribution but with parameter A = 1. One morning, a snap inspection is organised to check whether the elves are meeting the minimum performance criterion of each producing at least one present per hour. • (a) Determine the probability that a Senior Elf fails to meet the criterion. • (b) For a team of one Senior Elf and two Junior Elves (all working independently), find the probability that at least one elf fails to meet the criterion.

Suppose that the customer who arrives per minute in your restaurant during lunchtime 1 PM to 2 PM hour is equal to 6.0. Use Poisson distribution to compute the probability that in a given minute, exactly five customers will arrive.
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 15 people per hour.The inter-arrival time, X, is defined as the time that passes between successive arrivals of patients seeking medical attention. (a) It has been 4 minutes since the last person seeking medical attention arrived at the ER. What is the probability that at least 9 minutes (in total) will pass until the next medical-attention-seeking person passes through the ER doors? Use four decimals in your answer.
Person P is walking with his dog every day. He decides to model the time intervals between dog encounters (i.e., how long does it take between two encounters) with the independent random variables Y1, . . ., Yn. Number of dogs encounters per day, the number of customers entering a store per hour, the number of bacteria per liter of water, etc. are classically modelled using the Poisson distribution. With an exponential distribution, on the other hand, is used for modelling intervals of between events and how long a light bulb lasts, for example. After learning this, person P decides to model the observations in such a way that the corresponding random variables Y1,..., Yn for a random sample, that is, independent observation, of the exponential distribution Exp(1/µ), µ > 0. The parameter μ > 0 is used as the statistical model parameter 1 which is the expected value of each observation random variable Yi. Derive (a) the joint density function f(y;µ) specifying the model. (b) the…

The number of messages that are received in the group follows a Poisson distribution with an average of 30 per hour – call this random variable X. Let T be an exponentially distributed random variable that represents the time between messages received. 1. What is the probability that there are between 26 and 35 messages in the next hour? 2. What is the probability that there are exactly 30 messages in the next two hours? 3. What is the average for the variable, T?
Let Y1, Y2, Y3 denote independent exponential random variables with respective rates A; for i e {1,2, 3}. Answer the following questions; (a) Compute E[Y1 +Y2 +Y3]Y1 > 1, Y2 > 2, Y3 > 3].

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.
