Q: The number of arrivals at a car wash is Poisson distributed with a mean of three cars per hour. What is the probability that there are six or seven cars will arrive from 1:00pm to 4:00pm in one particular day?
X : number of arrivals at a car wash
X ~ poisson (3t), where, t = number of hours.
here, in this problem, t = (4.00-1.00) = 3 hours.
hence, X ~ poisson (3*3) = poisson (9)
the pmf of the distribution be:-
the probability that there are six or seven cars will arrive from 1:00pm to 4:00pm in one particular day is :-
