The Poisson Probability Distribution - Worked Example
------------------------------------------------------------------
Given that $X$ is a Poisson random variable with an expected number of occurrences $\lambda = 2$ in a one-hour time period, we can use the properties of the Poisson distribution to answer the questions.
Exercises
A. Compute the probability of no occurrences in a one-hour period
B. What is the probability of two or more occurrences in a one-hour period
C. Suppose $Y$ is a random variable that describes the amount of time between occurrences. What probability distribution should be used to describe $Y$?
