Question:

Changes in airport procedures require considerable planning. Arrival rates of aircraft are important factors that must be taken into account. Suppose small aircraft arrive at a certain airport, according to a Poisson process, at the rate of 6 per hour. Thus the Poisson parameter for arrivals for a period of hours is p = 6t.

(a) What is the probability that exactly 4 small aircraft arrive during a 1-hour period?

(b) What is the probability that at least 4 arrive during a 1-hour period?

(c) If we define a working day as 12 hours, what is the probability that at least 75 small aircraft arrive during a day?
