Problem 1 A Poisson process is a continuous-time discrete-valued random process, X(t), that counts the number of events (think of incoming phone calls, customers entering a bank, car accidents, etc.) that occur up to and including time t where the occurrence times of these events satisfy the following three conditions Events only occur after time 0, i.e., X(t)0 for t0 If N (1, 2], where 0< t t2, denotes the number of events that occur in the time interval (t1,...
