Question 1120107: the average arrival rate of persons in a queue is 1.5 per hour. what is the probability that at most 20 will arrive during an interval of 6 hours? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a Poisson distribution and is proportional to time. Here, the relative unit of observation is 6 hours.
With a parameter of 9 (for 6 hours), what is the probability the value will be no more than 20.
This is 0.9996.
