Step 1
Since N(t) is a Poisson process with rate λ = 1, the number of arrivals in any interval of length t follows a Poisson distribution with mean λt. In this case, the interval is (0,2] and the mean is λt = 1*2 = 2. The probability of having two arrivals in this Show more…

Determine the indicated probability for a Poisson random variable with the given values of λ and t. Round the answer to four decimal places. λ = 0.4, t = 3 P(1) = 0.2681

In a Poisson process with an average arrival rate of 1.4 per hour, what is the probability the next arrival will occur by 9:00 am if the most recent arrival was at 8:00 am and it is now after 8:45 am? (Enter the probability in decimal form, rounded to four places after the decimal.)
