Discrete distributions A GIS firm is investigating the safety of a dangerous road stretch in the Himalayas. Historical data indicates an average of 6 landslides per year over this stretch. The number of landslides is distributed according to a Poisson distribution. The firm wants to calculate the probability of exactly 3 landslides in any year

A crew of mechanics at the Department of Transportation garage make minor repairs to snowplows during the winter. The snowplows break down at an average rate of 4 vehicles per day and breakdowns are distributed according to the Poisson distribution. The mechanic can service an average of 7 vehicles per day with a repair time distribution that approximates a negative exponential distribution. Assume an 8 hour day. What are the chances that 3 vehicles are in the service system? Group of answer choices 43% 8% 5% 18%

Data documented for weather events in the state of Montana is obtained over a period of years and includes hail storms causing property damage. The data is analyzed and appears to fit a poison distribution with an average of 3.3 damaging hail storms per year. What is the likelihood that between 2 and 4 damaging hail storms are seen in a randomly selected year? please show using Poisson.dist function What is the probability that at least one significant hail storm causing damage is experienced in the coming year? What is the likelihood that Montana would experience between 5 and 7 damaging hailstorms over a two year period? What is the likelihood that Montana would experience more than 7 damaging hail storms over a two-year period? please show all steps using excel formulas
In a recent year, a hospital had 4463 births. Find the mean number of births per day, then use that result and the Poisson distribution to find the probability that in a day there are 14 births. Does it appear likely that on any given day, there will be exactly 14 births?
