A safety researcher has found that fourth to sixth graders engaging in unorganized activities on school grounds experienced injuries at the rate of injuries per 100 thousand student-days. On the average, how many student-days elapse between injuries to fourth to sixth graders in unorganized activities at school, and what is the probability that the next such injury will occur before 45 thousand student-days have passed?
Solution
VerifiedFor the Poisson distribution, let us define as injuries per thousand student-days with a mean of:
Let us redefine in the exponential distribution. Note that the mean of the corresponding exponential distribution is equal to and is the inverse of the mean of the Poisson distribution such that:
So on the average, there are thousand student-days between injuries.
