A local police station receives an average 6.3 emergency telephone calls per hour. These calls are Poisson distributed.
The probability that the station will get at least 3 calls per hour is:
a. 0.0397
Let say X~Poisson()
So,
PMF
, x=0,1,2,.....
Thus Mean of X:
.........at x=0 the term is 0
.....................y=x-1
..................by the formula of taylor series
Thus the mean or average
For this problem ,
X: Number of local calls per hour
X~Poisson(6.3)
So, P(at least 3 calls per hour) = P(X>=3) :

4. The emergency telephone (911) center in a large city receives an average of 210 calls per hour during a typical day. On average, each call requires about 121 seconds fora dispatcher to receive the emergency call, determine the nature and location of the problem, and send the required individuals (police, firefighters, or ambulance) to the scene. The center is currently staffed by 7 dispatchers a shift but must have an adequate number of dispatchers on duty and it has...
A call center receives an average of 13 calls per hour. Assuming the number of calls received follows the Poisson distribution, determine the probability would receive exactly 15 calls. Round to four decimals.
A call center receives an average of 18 calls per hour. Assuming the number of calls received follows the Poisson distribution, determine the probability would receive exactly 11 calls. Make sure that your answer is between 0 and 1.
A customer service center in Gary, Indiana receives, on average, 2.5 telephone calls per minute. If the distribution of calls is Poisson, what is the probability of receiving more than 4 calls during a particular minute? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to four decimals. Format for probabilities: 0.0000
A computer help line receives on average 32 calls per 8 hour work day. The distribution is Poisson. Compute the probability of having less than 6 calls in an hour. O 0.00000001889 O 0.8893 0.1042 O 0.7851
A sales firm receives, on average, three calls per hour on its toll-free number. For any given hour, find the probability that it will receive the following: (a) At most three calls (b) At least three calls (c) Five or more calls
During office hours, telephone calls to a single telephone in an office come in at an average rate of 18 calls per hour. Assuming that a Poisson distribution can be applied find the probability that in 5 mins period there will be Exactly 2 calls (2 marks) More than 3 calls (2 marks)
