Question

. On average, a clothing store gets 120 customers per day. Assume the store is open 12 hours each day. a) What is the probability of getting 35 customers in the first four hours

Answer 1

Answer: 0.04854

Explanation:

This is calculated by using the poisson distribution formula calculator. We first have to calculate the average number of success for the given hour then further calculate the poisson Probability for the question.

Average number of customers in first four hours = (4/12) * 120 = 40.

Randomly expected number of customers in First four hours = 35

Hence we input This randomly expected number of customers and average number of customers in our poisson calculator.

P(x=35) = 0.04854
