Answer:

a) 0.39984 = 39.984% probability of no orders in five minutes.

b) 0.06563 = 6.563% probability of 3 or more orders in five minutes.

c) The length of time is 0.63 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

Orders arrive at a Web site according to a Poisson process with a mean of 11 per hour.

This means that [tex]\mu = 11h[/tex], in which h is the number of hours.

a) Probability of no orders in five minutes.

Five minutes means that [tex]h = \frac{5}{60} = \frac{1}{12}[/tex], so [tex]\mu = \frac{11}{12} = 0.9167[/tex]

This probability is P(X = 0). So

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.39984[/tex]

0.39984 = 39.984% probability of no orders in five minutes.

b) Probability of 3 or more orders in five minutes.

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.39984[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.36653[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-0.9167}*(0.9167)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.168[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.39984 + 0.36653 + 0.168 = 0.93437[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.93437 = 0.06563[/tex]

0.06563 = 6.563% probability of 3 or more orders in five minutes.

c) Length of a time interval such that the probability of no orders in an interval of this length is 0.001.

This is h for which:

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.001[/tex]

We have that:

[tex]P(X = 0) = e^{-\mu}[/tex]

And

[tex]\mu = 11h[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = 0) = 0.001[/tex]

[tex]e^{-11h} = 0.001[/tex]

[tex]\ln{e^{-11h}} = \ln{0.001}[/tex]

[tex]-11h = \ln{0.001}[/tex]

[tex]h =-\frac{\ln{0.001}}{11}[/tex]

[tex]h = 0.63[/tex]

The length of time is 0.63 hours
