Suppose that the number of accidents occurring on a highway per
hour follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 1.25.
- What is the probability of exactly three accidents occur in
hour?
- What is the probability of less than two accidents in ten
minutes?
- What is the probability that the time between two successive
accidents is at least ten minutes?
- If ten minutes have gone by without an accident, what is the
probability that an accident will occur in the next twenty five
minutes?
