Question 1

A bookstore receives an average of 10 customers per hour. Calculate the probability that exactly 15 customers will visit in the next hour.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Rewrite the PMF equation and plug in the values for Ξ» and k.

Question 2

In a factory, defective items occur with a mean rate of 0.5 defect per meter. Find the probability of having no defects in a 5-meter stretch of items.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Identify the Ξ» first, then apply the Poisson PMF for k = 0.
