Suppose that X₁, the number of particles emitted in t hours from a radio - active source has a Poisson distribution with parameter 20t. What is the probability that exactly 5 particles are emitted during a 15 minute period?
Suppose the number of photons emitted by an atom during a one-minute time window can be modeled as a Poisson random variable with parameter λ = 2. Now, suppose you watch the atomfor two minutes, and the number of emitted photons in each minute is an independent Poisson process. Calculate the probability that you see exactly one photon during the two minutes. (Hint: this is the probability that you see no photons in the first minute and one photon in the second minute, plus the probability that you see one photon in the first minute and no photons in the second minute.) Similarly calculate the probability that you see exactly two photons during the two minutes.Compare these probabilities to the probabilities that a Poisson random variable with parameter λ= 4 takes the value one, or two. Are they the same?

Three batteries with a life span of 1 day were used simultaneously for one day. Battery usage follows a uniform distribution and three batteries are used independently of each other. Find the PDF of the sum of the remaining three batteries after the day.
Customer A and B are being served by two clerks in the post office. Customer C is waiting and he is the last customer of today. Suppose a clerk’s serving time for any customer follows exponential distribution with parameter λ independently. Customers will be served once any of the clerks are available. What’s the probability that customer A the last customer to leave the post office?
University center has two main computers of equivalent capacity. Computing jobs arriving at the center have been found to have a mean exponentially distributed execution time of 3 minutes. The jobs arrive to the computers with a poisson mean arrival rate of 15 jobs per hour. Determine the service rate of the jobs in hours 2. Determine the interarrival and service times for the first five jobs using the first five random numbers in column 1 of table A.1 Table in the image
The Poisson mass function is often used in biology to model the number of bacteria in a solution. Suppose a dilute suspension of bacteria is divided into several different test tubes. The number of bacteria x in a test tube has a Poisson mass function with a parameter 2 that represents the mean number of bacterial cells contained in the different test tubes. Express the probability that a particular test tube contains no bacteria, in terms of 2.
Customers arrive to a local bakery with an average time between arrivals of5 minutes. However, there is quite a lot of variability in the customers’ arrivals, asone would expect in an unscheduled system. The single bakery server requires anamount of time having the exponential distribution with mean 4.5 minutes to servecustomers (in the order in which they arrive). No customers leave without service.f. Why are the estimated waits in this system so long? Are the assumptions behindthem reasonable? Why or why not?
