A particular intersection in a small town is equipped with a surveillance camera. The number of traffic tickets issued to drivers passing through the intersection follows the Poisson distribution and averages 5.6 per month. a. What is the probability that 5 traffic tickets will be issued at the intersection next month? b. What is the probability that 3 or fewer traffic tickets will be issued at the intersection next month? c. What is the probability that more than 6 traffic tickets will be issued at the intersection next month?

Suppose traffic accidents at a road intersection occur once every 7 days. It can be assumed there is no more than 1 accident occurring at this intersection simultaneously, and at this intersection accidents can occur at any time. Also, an accident is not due to other accidents. (What type of distribution is this i.e. Gaussian, Poisson, etc.?) What is the probability that there are 3 accidents during the next 15 days at the intersection? Calculate by hand. What is the...

The number of accidents in a month at a certain intersection, denoted by X, has been found to follow the Poisson distribution with its mathematical expectation, that is, E(X), equal to 6. What is the probability that X is larger than 4 in a certain month? What is the probability that X is no more than 1 in a certain month? 1) The probability that X is larger than 4 in a certain month is: Pr(X>4)= 2) The probability that...

There is an average of four accidents per year at a particular intersection. What is the probability of more than one accident there next month? Hint: Use 1 month = 1/12 of a year to first get the number of accidents that are expected next month.
