VLSI chips, essential to the running of a computer system, fail in accordance with a Poisson distribution with the rate of one chip in about 5 weeks, if there are two spare chips on hand, and if a new supply will arrive in 8 weeks what is the probability that during the next 8 weeks the system will be down for a week or more, owing a lack of chips?

The average number of passengers passing through customs before noon at an airport in one country in Europe is 4 passengers per minute. It can be assumed that the number of passengers passing through customs at the airport per minute follows the Poisson distribution. What is the probability that at least two passengers will pass through customs at the airport in the next minute?
The number of work-related injuries per month in a manufacturing plant is known to follow a Poisson distribution, with a mean of 4.0 work-related injuries a month. What is the probability that in a given month, no work-related injuries occur? That at least one work-related injury occurs?
The manager of a gas station has observed that the times required by drivers to fill their car's tank and pay are quite variable. In fact, the times are exponentially distributed with a mean of 6.5 minutes. What is the probability that a car can complete the transaction in less than 6 minutes?
A camera manufacturer just shipped a batch of 36 digital cameras to local retailers and seven of the cameras have a defective sensor. Cutler Electronics received eight of these digital cameras. What is the standard deviation of this probability distribution? a. 0.420 b. 1.001 c. 1.764 d. 2.293
If you know that every 30 minutes, a plane takes off from Jeddah Airport to Riyadh Airport, starting at 10 am. If a group of passengers arrives at Jeddah airport at a time that follows the regular continuous distribution between 6:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., then what is the likelihood that passengers wait for the plane less than 15 minutes
The number of substances produced by a radioactive breakdown shows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 25. Use the Poisson distribution to find the probability that the number of substances occurring in 1 second is between 23 and 27.
part 3 4 The number of clients arriving at a bank machine is Poisson distributed with an average of 2 per minute. For a 5-minute period, Find the expected value and standard deviation. What is the probability that 2 customers will arrive in a 5-minute period? What is the probability that no more than 2 customers will arrive in a 5-minute period? What are the underlying assumptions that allow us to consider this phenomenon as a Poisson distribution?
