Traffic flow is traditionally modeled using a Poisson
distribution. Traffic
engineers monitor the traffic flowing through an intersection and
find that the average
is 2 cars per 30 seconds. What is the probability of observing at
most three cars during a
randomly selected minute?

State and local governments conduct traffic studies for a variety of reasons. Studies can be components of broader economic impact studies to understand how a new proposed development might impact existing traffic flows. Such studies can also be focused on a specific question such as whether additional traffic control (lights and signage) are needed at a particular intersection, or if additional lanes are needed on a busy road to relieve traffic congestion. State transportation departments also use traffic studies to...

A university cafeteria line in the student center is a self-serve facility in which students select the food items they want and then form a single line to pay thecashier. Students arrive at a rate of about four per minute according to a Poisson distribution. The single cashier ringing up sales takes about 12 seconds percustomer, following an exponential distribution.A university cafeteria line in the student center is a self-serve facility in which students select the food items they want...

Find the indicated probabilities using the geometric distribution, the Poisson distribution, or the binomial distribution. Then determine if the events are unusual. If convenient, use the appropriate probability table or technology to find the probabilities. The mean number of births per minute in a country in a recent year was about three.
