Traffic volume is an important factor for determining the most cost-effective method to surface a road. Suppose that the average number of vehicles passing a certain point on a road is 2 every 30 seconds. Explain why to find the probability that more than 5 cars will pass the point in 1 minute (60 seconds) can be found with the R-code: 1-ppois(5,4) #or ppois(5,4, lower.tail = FALSE) Hint: First find what the average number of vehicles passes through the point...

Sixty-eight percent of all vehicles at a certain emissions inspection pass the inspection. Assuming that successive vehicles pass or fail independently of one another. Calculate the following probabilities: At least one of the next 11 vehicles inspected fail. Exactly five of the next 11 vehicles inspected passes. Given that more than three of the next 11 vehicles inspected fails, what is the probability that no more than eight of the next 11 vehicles inspected fails?

A construction crew in northern Canada is about to start road work on a logging road. Being minor, their work will only take a single day. Since this road is far from civilization, not many vehicles drive on it. The amount of daily traffic follows a poisson distribution with ?=5.4. Given this Poisson distribution, what is the probability that the number of cars stopped by this construction will be 5? Enter your answer in decimal form using three decimal places....
