Suppose that customers come into a particular store at an average rate of 5 customers per hour. Assume that the number of customers coming into the store follows a Poisson distribution. In the next hour, the probability that more than 2 customers come into the store is
The number of customers arriving per hour at a certain automobile service facility is assumed to follow a Poisson distribution with mean $\lambda=7$. (a) Compute the probability that more than 10 customers will arrive in a 2 -hour period. (b) What is the mean number of arrivals during a 2-hour period?
