On average, Nancy has noticed that 13 trucks pass by her apartment daily (24 hours). In order to find the probability that more than 6 trucks will pass her apartment in a 6-hour time period using the Poisson distribution, find the average number of trucks per 6 hours. Round your answer to three decimal places, if necessary.

Emma has noticed a small red fox living in the park near her apartment. She takes a walk at the same time every day and has observed the fox in three different areas: in the woods, in the meadow, and by the pond. If it is in the woods on one observation, then it is twice as likely to be in the woods as in the meadow on the next observation but not by the pond. If it is in...

A website manager has noticed that during the evening hours, about 3 people per minute check out from their shopping cart and make an online purchase. She believes that each purchase is independent of others and assumes that the distribution of number of purchases per minute on the website follows Poisson distribution. If you use excel, please explain the formulas used on the cells. What is the probability that during a 1-minute period, at least one purchase is made? What...

What is the probability that the production line breaks down one (1) or more times in two working weeks?

The Denver Post reported that, on average, a large shopping center had an incident of shoplifting caught by security 1.4 times every three hours. The shopping center is open from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. (11 hours). Let r be the number of shoplifting incidents caught by security in an 11-hour period during which the center is open. (a) Explain why the Poisson probability distribution would be a good choice for the random variable r. -Frequency of shoplifting is a...

You are interested in finding out the mean number of customers entering a 24-hour convenience store every 10-minutes. You suspect this can be modeled by the Poisson distribution with a a mean of λ=4.84 customers. You are to randomly pick n=74 10-minute time frames, and observe the number of customers who enter the convenience store in each. After which, you are to average the 74 counts you have. That is, compute the value of X (a) What can you expect...
