A fisherman catches fish according to a Poisson process with rate lambda = 0.6 per hour. The fisherman will keep fishing for two

hours. At the end of the second hour, if he has caught at least one fish, he quits; Otherwise, he continues until he catches one fish. (a) Find the probability that he stays for more than two hours. (b) Find the probability that the total time he spends fishing is between two and five hours. (c) Find the expected number offish that he catches. (d) Find the expected total fishing time, given that he has been fishing for four hours.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a fisherman catches fish according to a Poisson process with rate lambda = 0.6 per hour.

The fisherman will keep fishing for two hours.

Since he continues till he gets atleast one fish, we can calculate probability as follows:

(a) Find the probability that he stays for more than two hours.

= Prob (x=0) in I two hours and P(X≥1) in 3rd hour

=P(x=0)*P(X=0)*P(X≥1) (since each hour is independent of the other)

= 0.5488^2*(1-0.8781)\\\\=0.2645

(b) Find the probability that the total time he spends fishing is between two and five hours.

Prob that he does not get fish in I two hours * prob he gets fish between 3 and 5 hours

=P(0)^2 *F(1)^3\\=0.5488^2*0.2645^3\\=0.00557

(c) Find the expected number offish that he catches.

Expected value in Geometric distribution = \frac{1-p}{p}, where p = prob of getting 1 fish in one hour

= \frac{0.6}{1-0.6} \\=3

(d) Find the expected total fishing time, given that he has been fishing for four hours.

= Expected fishing time total/expected fishing time for 4 hours

=3/0.6*4

= 1.25 hours

Answer:

  1. 125 in²
  2. 676 km²
  3. 20 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. (This is the version you use for problem 2.)

This also means the square on one side is the difference between the square on the hypotenuse and the square on the other side. (Use this version for problems 1 and 3.)

1. ? = 200 in² -75 in² = 125 in²

2. ? = 576 km² + 100 km² = 676 km²

3. ? = 36 square units - 16 square units = 20 square units
