Title: In-Class Exercise: The Poisson Distribution


1
In-Class Exercise The Poisson Distribution
  • 3-103. The number of cracks in a section of
    interstate highway that are significant enough to
    require repair is assumed to follow a Poisson
    distribution with a mean of two cracks per mile.
  • What is the probability that there are no cracks
    that require repair in 5 miles of highway?
  • What is the probability that there is at least
    one crack that require repair in 1/2 miles of
    highway?

2
In-Class Exercise The Poisson Distribution
  • 3-111. The number of messages sent to a computer
    bulletin board is a Poisson random variable with
    a mean of 5 messages per hour.
  • What is the probability that 5 messages are
    received in 1 hour?
  • What is the probability that 10 messages are
    received in 1.5 hours?
  • What is the probability that fewer than 2
    messages are received in ½ hour?
