题目
The number of orders arriving at a shop during an -hour working day is modelled by the random variable with distribution .
(a) State two assumptions that are required for the Poisson model to be valid in this context.
(b)
(i) Find the probability that the number of orders that arrive in a randomly chosen -hour period is between and inclusive.
(ii) Find the probability that, in two randomly chosen -hour periods, exactly order will arrive in one of the -hour periods, and at least orders will arrive in the other -hour period.
(c) The shop can only deal with a maximum of orders during any -hour period.
Use a suitable approximating distribution to find the probability that, in a randomly chosen -hour period, there will be too many orders for the shop to deal with.

一家商店在一个 小时的工作日内收到的订单数,用服从 分布的随机变量 描述。
(a) 写出在此情境中泊松模型成立所需的两个假设。
(b)
(i) 随机选取一段 小时的时间,求这段时间内收到的订单数介于 与 之间(含端点)的概率。
(ii) 随机选取两段各长 小时的时间,求其中一段恰好收到 份订单、另一段至少收到 份订单的概率。
(c) 该商店在任意一段 小时的时间内最多只能处理 份订单。
随机选取一段 小时的时间,用适当的近似分布求这段时间内的订单数超过商店处理能力的概率。
原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.

Let be the number of orders in three hours. Then
Therefore
(b)(ii)

思路
展开
每小时参数为3.15,两个时段中恰好1单与至少2单可交换,故两种不相交情况的概率相加,即乘2。

For one hour, . Hence
and
Either period can be the one with exactly one order. Thus the required probability is
