Step-by-step explanation:
Let R be a bounded and measurable region in the forest and denote with
|R| = area of R in acres
Let T(R) be a discrete random variable that measures the number of trees in the region R.
If the trees are distributed according to a two-dimensional Poisson process with the expected number of trees per acre equals to 40, then
(a) What is the probability that in a certain quarter-acre plot, there will be at most 15 trees?
In this case R is a region with an area of 1/4 acres,
We can compute this with a spreadsheet and we get
(b) If the forest covers 70,000 acres, what is the expected number of trees in the forest?
Given that the expected number of trees per acre equals 40, the expected number of trees in 70,000 acres equals
40*70,000 = 2,800,000 trees.
(c) Suppose you select a point in the forest and construct a circle of radius 0.1 mile. Let X = the number of trees within that circular region. What is the pmf of X?
Now R is a circle of radius 0.1 mile, so its area equals
Since 1 squared mile = 640 acres,
0.0314 squared miles = 0.0314*640 = 20.106 acres, so the pmf of R would be
