1. Poisson Distribution

Suppose that the number of inquiries arriving at a certain interactive system follows a Poisson distribution with arrival rate of 12 inquiries per minute. Find the probability of 10 inquiries arriving

(a) in a 1-minute interval
(b) in a 3-minute interval

(a) in a 1-minute interval
(b) in a 3-minute interval
(a) X ~ Poisson(mean = 12). Calculate Pr(X = 10) using the usual pmf.
(b) Y ~ Poisson(mean = 36). Calculate Pr(Y = 10) using the usual pmf.
