Suppose small aircraft arrive at a certain airport according to a Poisson process with rate a 5 8 per hour, so that the number of arrivals during a time period of t hours is a Poisson rv with parameter m 5 8t. a. What is the probability that exactly 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period? At least 6? At least 10? b. What are the expected value and standard deviation of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period? c. What is the probability that at least 20 small aircraft arrive during a 2.5-hour period? That at most 10 arrive during this period?

(a) P (X = 6) = 0.12214, P (X ≥ 6) = 0.8088, P (X ≥ 10) = 0.2834.

(b) The expected value of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period is 12 and standard deviation is 3.464.

(c) P (X ≥ 20) = 0.5298 and P (X ≤ 10) = 0.0108.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X = number of aircraft arrive at a certain airport during 1-hour period.

The arrival rate is, λt = 8 per hour.

(a)

For t = 1 the average number of aircraft arrival is:

The probability distribution of a Poisson distribution is:

Compute the value of P (X = 6) as follows:

Thus, the probability that exactly 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.12214.

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 6) as follows:

Thus, the probability that at least 6 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.8088.

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 10) as follows:

Thus, the probability that at least 10 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period is 0.2834.

(b)

For t = 90 minutes = 1.5 hour, the value of λ, the average number of aircraft arrival is:

The expected value of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period is 12.

The standard deviation is:

The standard deviation of the number of small aircraft that arrive during a 90-min period is 3.464.

(c)

For t = 2.5 the value of λ, the average number of aircraft arrival is:

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 20) as follows:

Thus, the probability that at least 20 small aircraft arrive during a 2.5-hour period is 0.5298.

Compute the value of P (X ≤ 10) as follows:

Thus, the probability that at most 10 small aircraft arrive during a 2.5-hour period is 0.0108.
