The positions of palm trees on a large island may be assumed to be reasonably modelled by a 2-dimensional Poisson process with density lambda =28 per square kilometre.

Calculate the expected distance (in metres) from a randomly selected point on the island to the nearest palm tree

It is the question on the text book but has no solution to it. Suppose trees in a forest are distributed according to a Poisson process. Let X be the distance from an arbitrary starting point to the nearest tree. The average number of trees per square metre is lambda". Derive f(x) the same way we derived the Exponential probability density function. You are now using the Poisson distribution in two dimensions (area) rather than one dimension (time). I am...
