Suppose junk emails delivered to one's inbox follow a poisson distribution, with a constante average rate of 3 emails per hour. What is the probability that one junk email is received within half an hour after creating an email account?
Ans:
Given that
Average rate=3 emails per hr
So,
There will be on average 3*0.5=1.5 emails in half an hr
P(x=1)=e-1.5*(1.51/1!)=0.3347

Suppose the number of emails sent from a system follows the Poisson distribution, which averages 30 times per hour. a. Find the probability that an email will not be sent for a certain minute. b. Let T be a random variable that represents the time between when an email is sent and the next email is sent., Find the probability distribution of T and use this to determine the probability of more than 10 minutes of time between when an...

Patients arriving at the emergency room of a local hospital follow a Poisson distribution with an average arrival rate of 26 per half hour. Find the probability that between 32 and 35 patients (inclusive) will arrive at the emergency room within a half hour. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.
Service calls arriving at an electric company follow a Poisson distribution with an average arrival rate of 59 per hour. Using the normal approximation to the Poisson, find the probability that the electric company receives at most 49 service calls per hour. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.

According to e-mail logs, one employee at a certain company receives an average of 110 emails per week suppose the count of emails received can be adequately modeled as a poisson random variable. 1. What is the probability of this employee receiving exactly 110 emails in a given week? 2. What is the probability of receiving 100 or fewer emails in a given week? 3. What is the probability of receiving more than 125 emails in a given week 4....
