Question 1

In a service station, cars arrive following Poisson distributions: $A \sim Poisson(5)$, $B \sim Poisson(7)$, and $C \sim Poisson(4)$. What is the mean of total cars arriving?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Just sum all individual means.

Question 2

A factory has three machinery lines producing defects with averages 2, 3, and 1: $X \sim Poisson(2)$, $Y \sim Poisson(3)$, $Z \sim Poisson(1)$. What is the distribution of total defects?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to treat each defect source independently.
