(b) Ship collisions in the Houston Ship Channel are rare. Suppose the number of collisions are Poisson distributed, with a mean of 1.2 collisions every four months. i. What is the probability of having no collisions occur over a four-month period? ii. What is the probability of having less than two collisions over a four-month period?
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.

The average number of collisions in a week during the summer months at a particular intersection is 2. Assume that the requirements of the Poisson distribution are satisfied. What is the probability that there will be exactly one collision in a week?
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.

The following information is given about a 24-hour car wash facility: • There are 2 car washes and a waiting area for 2 cars in the car wash facility. Thus, while maximum 2 vehicles can be washed in the facility at the same time, maximum 4 vehicles can be found in the facility. • The number of vehicles arriving at the facility conforms to the poisson distribution, with an average of 6 vehicles per hour. The vehicle washing time follows the exponential distribution and its average is 12 minutes. • 30 TL is charged as a washing service fee for each vehicle, and the cost of washing is 10 TL per vehicle. • There is a parking lot for 1 vehicle belonging to the municipality right next to the car wash facility. The municipality has said that if it wants, it can rent the parking lot to the car wash facility for 100 TL per day. If this parking lot is rented, the capacity of the waiting area will be 3 vehicles, and when the washed vehicles are included, a maximum of 5 vehicles will be…

Steve Burns, host of the first season of Blue' clues recently bids goodbye to the show. Assuming that in his first season of hosting he can actually find an average of 15 clues that when blue leaves paw prints on the objects around her house per week. If the clues he finds follows Poisson distribution, what is the probability that there will be 5, 10 or 15 clues during the next week?
