Chapter 7.3, Problem 13P
Summary Introduction
Interpretation: Concept of Poisson process has been discussed
Concept Introduction: Suppose there is a bank of ABC located in cant city of XYZ city. Open timings of bank is 9 am to 5 am. Bank manager observed that 10 person arrived in the bank in two hours whereas 5 person were arrived in one hour. So he started to find the reason, why this number is less than the probability of 5 arrivals in one hour.

Expected wasting time
Willow Brook National Bank operates a drive-up teller window that allows customers to complete bank transactions without getting out of their cars. On weekday mornings, arrivals to the drive-up teller window occur at random, with an arrival rate of 24 customers per hour or 0.4 customers per minute.
What is the mean or expected number of customers that will arrive in a five-minute period?λ = fill in the blank 1 per five minute period
Assume that the Poisson probability distribution can be used to describe the arrival process. Use the arrival rate in part (a) and compute the probabilities that exactly 0, 1, 2, and 3 customers will arrive during a five-minute period. If required, round your answers to four decimal places.
