Question 1

What does λ represent in the Poisson distribution?

  • The total number of vehicles
  • The average rate of vehicle arrivals
  • The time interval for vehicle arrivals

💡 Hint: It relates to predictions, not counts.

Question 2

True or False: The Poisson distribution is primarily used for continuous data.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think of what kind of data it represents.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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!.

Question 2

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.
