Customer arrivals at a bank have a Poisson distribution with an average of three per hour. For a given hour, find the probability that exactly four customers arrive.
Added by Brenda M.
Step 1
Step 1: Given that customer arrivals at the bank follow a Poisson distribution with an average of three per hour, we can use the Poisson probability mass function to calculate the probability of exactly four customers arriving in one hour. Show more…

Customers arrive at a bank according to a Poisson process having a rate of 2.47 customers per hour. Suppose we begin observing the bank at some point in time. What is the probability that 3 customers arrive in the first 1.5 hours?
Refer to Exercise $3.122 .$ Assume that arrivals occur according to a Poisson process with an average of seven per hour. What is the probability that exactly two customers arrive in the twohour period of time between a. 2: 00 P.M. and 4: 00 P.M. (one continuous two-hour period)? b. 1: 00 P.M. and 2: 00 p.M. or between 3: 00 p.M. and 4: 00 P.M. (two separate one-hour periods that total two hours)?
