Question

if no accidents have occurred within the last six months, what is the probability that an accident will occur within the next year?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: The number of traffic accidents at a certain intersection is thought to be well modeled by a Poisson process with a mean of 3

accidents per year.

Find the probability that more than one year elapses between accidents.

I am not really sure if I am doing this problem correctly but here was my attempt.

I know that the expected value is 3

accidents per year, and I have to find the probability that more than one year elapses between accidents.
