Let {N(t), t [0,)} be a Poisson process with rate . Let p : [0,)

Question:

Let {N(t), t ∈ [0,∞)} be a Poisson process with rate λ. Let p : [0,∞) ↦ [0, 1] be a function. Here we divide N(t) to two processes N1(t) and N2(t) in the following way. For each arrival, a coin with P(H) = p(t) is tossed. If the coin lands heads up, the arrival is sent to the first process (N1(t)), otherwise it is sent to the second process. The coin tosses are independent of each other and are independent of N(t). Show that N1(t) is a nonhomogeneous Poisson process with rate λ(t) = λp(t).
