Answer:
a) Poisson distribution
b) 99.33% probability that in any one minute at least one purchase is made
c) 0.05% probability that seven people make a purchase in the next four minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given time interval.
5 people per minute check out from their shopping cart and make an online purchase.
This means that
a) What model might you suggest to model the number of purchases per minute?
The only information that we have is the mean number of an event(purchases) in a time interval. Each event is also independent fro each other. So you should suggest the Poisson distribution to model the number of purchases per minute.
b) What is the probability that in any one minute at least one purchase is made?
Either no purchases are made, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So
We want to find
So
In which
1 - 0.0067 = 0.9933.
99.33% probability that in any one minute at least one purchase is made
c) What is the probability that seven people make a purchase in the next four minutes?
The mean is 5 purchases in a minute. So, for 4 minutes
We have to find P(X = 7).
0.05% probability that seven people make a purchase in the next four minutes
