The number of traffic accidents at a certain intersection is thought to be well modeled by a Poisson process. If the probability of no accident within a year is 5 percent. What is the mean waiting time between accidents

Respuesta :

if percent of 1 year was 5%:

meaning time between accidents must be atleast 1 week

The mean waiting time that exists between the accidents would be:

- 1 week

'Mean waiting time' is determined through the contemplated value of an odd(random/casual) variable.

Given that,

Probability(P) of no accident taking place in 1 year = 5%

Assuming T be the accidents' number that takes place during a year,

Since 5% is the probability or chance of no accident to take place,

The mean waiting time between accidents = 1 week at least via Poisson process.

Thus, 1 week would be the correct answer.
