P ( X = 0) = e − λ = 0.05 . Therefore, λ = −ln(0.05) = 2.996. Consequently, E(X) = V(X) = 2.996. 3-110 a) Let X denote the number of calls in one hour. Then, X is a Poisson random variable with λ = 10. e −10 105 = 0.0378 . 5! e −10 10 e −10 102 e −10 103 + + = 0.0103 b) P( X ≤ 3) = e −10 + 1! 2! 3! c) Let Y denote the number of calls in two hours. Then, Y is a Poisson random variable with e −20 2015 = 0.0516 λ = 20. P( Y = 15) = 15! d) Let W denote the number of calls in 30 minutes.

Then, X is a Poisson random variable with λ = 10. P ( X = 0) = e = 4.54 × 10 b) Let Y denote the number of cracks in a half mile of highway. Then, Y is a Poisson random variable with λ = 1. P (Y ≥ 1) = 1 − P (Y = 0) = 1 − e = 0.6321 c) The assumptions of a Poisson process require that the probability of a count is constant for all intervals. If the probability of a count depends on traffic load and the load varies, then the assumptions of a Poisson process are not valid. Separate Poisson random variables might be appropriate for the heavy and light load sections of the highway. 3-117. a) Let X denote the number of flaws in 10 square feet of plastic panel.

c) Let W denote the number of cars with surface flaws. Because the number of flaws has a Poisson distribution, the occurrences of surface flaws in cars are independent events with constant probability. From part a., the probability a car contains surface flaws is 1−0.6065 = 0.3935. Consequently, W is binomial with n = 10 and p = 0.3935. ⎛10 ⎞ P (W = 0) = ⎜ ⎟ (0.3935)0 (0.6065)10 = 0.0067 ⎝0⎠ ⎛10 ⎞ P (W = 1) = ⎜ ⎟ (0.3935)1 (0.6065)9 = 0.0437 ⎝1⎠ P (W ≤ 1) = 0.0067 + 0.0437 = 0.0504 3-23 3-118. a) Let X denote the failures in 8 hours.
