Answer:
The number of cars that go through the intersection each minute X has Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 11.5
and the PMF of X is;
P (X = x) = e^-λ ( λˣ / x! ); where x = 0, 1, 2, 3, , , , , ,
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
on average eleven and a half cars go through the intersection each minute and It takes an average person ten seconds to walk across the intersection.
Therefore
The number of cars that go through the intersection each minute X has Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 11.5
and the PMF of X is;
P ( X = x ) = e^-λ ( λˣ / x! ) ;
where x = 0, 1, 2, 3, , , , , ,
