A city traffic report states that on average, 120 vehicles arrive at a major intersection every hour. Using the Poisson distribution, calculate the probability of exactly 100 vehicles arriving in the next hour.
💡 Hint: Focus on calculating e^(-120), then compute (120^100) and divide by 100!.
Design a simple experiment to observe traffic flow at a local intersection. Collect data for one hour and analyze it using the Poisson distribution. What insights can be derived?
💡 Hint: Think about how often cars arrive and how you can use that to predict future arrival rates.
