Q:

Consider a Poisson distribution with an average of three customers per minute at a local grocery store. IF X = the number of arrivals per minute, find the probability of more than 7 customers arriving within a minute.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:0.012Step-by-step explanation:The probability of more than 7 customers arriving within a minute is obtained by taking the probability at X equal to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 then subtracting from the total probability. It can be expected about 1.2% of times that more than 7 customers arriving within a minute.
