Suppose events are occurring randomly in time. The number of events is a Poisson random variable with parameter λ. Prove the amount of time one has to wait until a total of n events has occurred will be the gamma random variable with parameters (n,1/λ).
Problem 1 A Poisson process is a continuous-time discrete-valued random process, X(t), that counts the number of events (think of incoming phone calls, customers entering a bank, car accidents, etc.) that occur up to and including time t where the occurrence times of these events satisfy the following three conditions Events only occur after time 0, i.e., X(t)0 for t0 If N (1, 2], where 0< t t2, denotes the number of events that occur in the time interval (t1,...
Homogeneous Poisson process N(t) counts events occurring in a time interval and is characterized by Ņ(0)-0 and (t + τ)-N(k) ~ Poisson(λτ), where τ is the length of the interval (a) Show that the interarrival times to next event are independent and exponentially distributed random variables (b) A random variable X is said to be memoryless if P(X 〉 s+ t | X 〉 t) = P(X 〉 s) y s,t〉0. that this property applies for the interarrival times if...
The occurrence of crashes of a computer is occurring according to a homogeneous Poisson process (HPP) with a rate of λ = 3 per month. (a) What is the probability that in a span of two months, the computer will crash at least 6 times? (b) What is the probability that in a two-month period, the computer will not crash at all? (c) What is the probability that the first crash will occur after 0.5 months?
Suppose the number of events that happen in time t follows a Poisson distribution with parameter λ. Show that the time when the third even occurs follows a gamma distribution with α = 3,β = 1/λ.
