Organisms are present in ballast water discharged from a ship according to a Poisson process with a concentration of 10 organism
s/m3 a. What is the probability that one cubic meter of dis- charge contains at least 8 organisms? b. What is the probability that the number of organisms in 1.5 m3 of discharge exceeds its mean value by more than one standard deviation? c. For what amount of discharge would the probability of containing at least 1 organism be .999?
Because each of the students paid the same amounts, you just divide the total amount of money by the number of students there are, which is 21 and you get your answer of $12.40. hope this helps :)
