(c) Does this Poisson distribution provide a good model for the number of accidents in this example (as per Table 1)? Explain why or why not. Use R to produce a graph to help support your answer (produce the R as part of your answer). (d) Use the model in (b) to estimate the probability that less than 2 accidents were recorded in any randomly chosen week. How does this compare to the actual data?
The number of students who fail per semester is often modeled as a Poisson random variable. Assume that on the average there are 5 students who fail per sem. d. If exponential distribution can model this system, what is the probability that there will be no failing students right after midterm?

Calculate the probability that there will be a failing student within the first semester. F. Calculate the probability that a failing student will be first spotted after midterm up to end of the first semester?
