The average number of customers arriving at a gas station is 33 per hour during lunch hours. Use equation to denote the number o

f arrivals in a 5 minute time interval. Assume the customers arrive independently and the number of arrivals within each 5 minutes follows a Poisson distribution. Keep at least 4 decimal digits if the result has more decimal digits.

Answer:

The equation denoting the number of arrivals in 5 minutes is, \frac{33}{60}\times5.

The number of arrivals in 5 minutes is 2.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of customers arriving at a gas station in an hour.

The average customers arriving at a gas station in an hour is, <em>λ</em> = 33.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Poisson distribution with parameter <em>λ</em>.

The probability mass function of a Poisson distribution is:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!};\ x=0,1,2,3...

In 60 minutes the number of arrivals is, 33.

In 1 minute the number of arrival will be, \frac{33}{60}.

Then in 5 minutes the number of arrivals will be, \frac{33}{60}\times5.

The equation denoting the number of arrivals in 5 minutes is, \frac{33}{60}\times5.

The number of arrivals in 5 minutes is

\frac{33}{60}\times5=2.75

Thus, the number of arrivals in 5 minutes is 2.75.

The number of errors in a textbook follow a poisson distribution with a mean of 0.01 errors per page. what is the probability th
neonofarm [45]
Mean number of errors in each page = 0.01
Mean number of errors in 100 pages = 0.01*100=1

It is possible to use the cumulative distribution function (CMF), but the math is a little more complex, involving the gamma-function.  Tables and software are available for that purpose.

Thus it is easier to evaluate with a calculator for the individual cases of k=0,1,2 and 3.

The Poisson distribution has a PMF (probability mass function) 
P(k):=\frac{\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}}{k!}
with &lambda; = 1
=>
P(0):=\frac{1^0e^{-1}}{0!}=0.3678794
P(1):=\frac{1^1e^{-1}}{1!}=0.3678794
P(2):=\frac{1^2e^{-1}}{2!}=0.1839397
P(3):=\frac{1^3e^{-1}}{3!}=0.0613132
=>
P(k
or
P(k<=3)=0.9810 (to four decimal places)
