Question 992100: Traffic flow is traditionally modelled as a Poisson distribution. A traffic engineer monitors the traffic flowing through an intersection with an average of 6 cars per minute. To set the timing of a traffic signal the following probabilities are used.
If the variance of the number of cars through the intersection per minute is 20, is the Poisson distribution appropriate? Explain. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Posting the same question multiple times just clogs up the system and wastes everyone's time. And you run the risk of not getting your question answered at all. Despite what you may think, your questions are not more important than anyone else's.
