File Preview rk: The above formulas are also true if r is not an integer (but the derivation is much more complicated). Your textbook calls ½-1 = ẞ and r = a. Example: Suppose that accidents happen at a certain intersection at an average rate of two every day. In each part of the problem, define the random variable you are working with and state its distribution along with all relevant parameters. (a) What is the probability that we will have to wait more than a day for the next two accidents to happen? (b) How long do you expect to have to wait until the fifth accident occurs?
