Suppose that in a week the number of accidents at a certain crossing has a Poisson distribution with an average of 0.6
a) What is the probability that there are at least 3 accidents at the crossing for two weeks?
b) What is the probability that the time between an accident and the next one is longer than 2 weeks?
a)
Here, λ = 0.6*2 = 1.2 and x = 2
As per Poisson's distribution formula P(X = x) = λ^x *
e^(-λ)/x!
We need to calculate P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X <= 2).
P(X > 2) = 1 - (1.2^0 * e^-1.2/0!) + (1.2^1 * e^-1.2/1!) +
(1.2^2 * e^-1.2/2!)
P(X > 2) = 1 - (0.3012 + 0.3614 + 0.2169)
P(X > 2) = 1 - 0.8795 = 0.1205
b)
We need to calculate P(X = 0)
P(X = 0) = 1.2^0 * e^-1.2/0!
P(X = 0) = 0.3012
Ans: 0.3012

Use Poisson Distribution to solve problems 6-7 6. Suppose that the average number of accidents occurring weekly on a particular stretch of a highway equals 2.

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...

No accidents occur in one week Probability - B. 8 or more accidents occur in a week. Probability - C. One accident occurs today. Probability-
The number of accidents that occur at a busy intersection is Poisson distributed with a mean of 3.1 per week. Find the probability of the following events. A. No accidents occur in one week.

(1 pt) The number of accidents that occur at a busy intersection is Poisson distributed with a mean of 4 per week. Find the probability of the following events. A. No accidents occur in one week Probability B. 5 or more accidents occur in a week. Probability- C. One accident occurs today. Probability
The number of accidents per week at a busy intersection was recorded for a year. There were 19 weeks with no accidents, 17 weeks with one accident, 9 weeks with two accidents, and 7 weeks with three accidents. A week is to be selected at random and the number of accidents noted. Let X be the outcome. Then X is a random variable taking on the values 0, 1, 2, and 3. (a) Write out a probability table for X...
1.The number of accidents that occur at a busy intersection is Poisson distributed with a mean of 3.7 per week. Find the probability of 10 or more accidents occur in a week? 2.The probability distribution for the number of goals scored per match by the soccer team Melchester Rovers is believed to follow a Poisson distribution with mean 0.80. Independently, the number of goals scored by the Rochester Rockets is believed to follow a Poisson distribution with mean 1.60. You...
PROBLEM 2 The number of accidents in a certain city is modeled by a Poisson random variable with average rate of 10 accidents per day. Suppose that the number of accidents in different days are independent. Use the central limit theorem to find the probability that there will be more than 3800 accidents in a certain year. Assume that there are 365 days in a year.
