Suppose that the occurrence of accidents in a large industrial plant satisfies the three
assumptions for the Poison process. Suppose also that accidents occur at the rate of ½ per week. Let X be the number of accidents that will occur in a period of the next six weeks.
• A) What is the parameter λ?
• B) Write down the pdf of X.
• C) Find E(X), Var(X) and mgf of X
• D) What is the probability that exactly 3 accidents will occur?
• E) What is the probability that no accidents will occur?
F) If the number of accidents occurring on a highway each day is a poison random variable with parametor "\\lambda"=3 what is the probability that no
accidents occur today?
