题目
Cars arrive at a junction at a constant average rate of per minute.
(a) State a condition for the number of cars arriving per minute to have a Poisson distribution.
It is now given that the number of cars arriving per minute has the distribution .
(b) Find the probability that at least cars arrive during a randomly chosen 3-minute period.
(c) Given that at least cars arrive during a particular randomly chosen 3-minute period, find the probability that exactly cars arrive during this period.
(d) Use a suitable approximating distribution to find the probability that more than cars arrive during a randomly chosen 20-minute period.
题目中文翻译
汽车到达某路口的平均速率恒为每分钟 辆。
(a) 写出每分钟到达的汽车数服从泊松分布的一个条件。
现已知每分钟到达的汽车数服从分布 。
(b) 求在随机选取的一段 分钟内至少有 辆汽车到达的概率。
(c) 已知在某段随机选取的 分钟内至少有 辆汽车到达,求这段时间内恰有 辆汽车到达的概率。
(d) 用一个合适的近似分布,求在随机选取的一段 分钟内到达的汽车数超过 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.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。
