On average, Nancy has noticed that 21 trucks pass by her apartment daily (24 hours). In order to find the probability that more than 1 truck will pass her apartment in a 2-hour time period using the Poisson distribution, find the average number of trucks per 2 hours. Round your answer to three decimal places, if necessary.

On average, Nancy has noticed that 17 trucks pass by her apartment daily (24 hours). In order to find the probability that more than 3 trucks will pass her apartment in a 3-hour time period using the Poisson distribution, find the average number of trucks per 3 hours. Round your answer to three decimal places, if necessary. Provide your answer below:

3. From 2000-2019 there were a total of 3071 earthquakes worldwide with a magnitude of 6 or greater, or an average of about 0.42 such earthquakes per day.* Assume that moving forward the total number of such earthquakes to occur over any time period follows a Poisson distribution with an average of 0.42 earthquakes per day. For the remainder of this question, "earthquake" will mean an earthquake with a magnitude of 6 or greater. Define a new random variable as...

4. At a local hospital, babies are born at an average rate of four births per night (consider "night" to be an 8 hour period from 10pm to 6am). Assume that the time that elapsed from one birth to the next has the exponential distribution. Take note that we are concerned only with the rate at which babies are born, and we are ignoring the time spent in labor. We must also assume that the times spent between births are...

Television viewing reached a new high when the Nielsen Company reported a mean daily viewing time of 8.35 hours per household (USA Today, November 11, 2009). Use a normal probability distribution with a standard deviation of 2.5 hours to answer the following questions about daily television viewing per household. A) What is the probability that a household views television between 5 and 10 hours a day? B) How many hours of television viewing must a household have in order to...

From the content section: 5.13 Weekly Activities: Norman called today to say he had found a way for us to model the number of customer phone calls per hour. He had been thinking about other statistical factors that might play into our planning, so he got out some of his old stats texts and started browsing through them. Apparently by using something called a Poisson distribution, we could find the likelihood of large volumes of phone calls during any hour...
