Recent crime reports indicate that 17.3 motor vehicle thefts occur every hour in Canada. Assume that the distribution of thefts per hour can be approximated by a Poisson probability distribution.
a. Calculate the probability exactly four thefts occur in an hour.(Round the final answer to 5 decimal places.)
Probability
b. What is the probability there are no thefts in an hour? (Round the final answer to 5 decimal places.)
Probability
c. What is the probability there are at least 20 thefts in an hour? Use excel or online calculator to find the answer. (Round the final answer to 5 decimal places.)

Expert Solution
a. Calculate the probability exactly four thefts occur in an hour.
P(X = 4) = 0.00011
b. What is the probability there are no thefts in an hour?
P(X = 0) = 0.00000
c. What is the probability there are at least 20 thefts in an hour?
P(x > = 20) = 0.27187

Recent crime reports indicate that, on average, 3.1 motor
vehicle thefts occur each minute in the United States. What is the
probability there are no thefts in a minute? You should use the
finite population correction factor for this problem.

In Hawaii, the rate of motor vehicle theft is 503 thefts per
100,000 vehicles. A large parking structure in Honolulu has issued
491 parking permits.
(a) What is the probability that none of the vehicles with a
permit will eventually be stolen? (Round λ to 1 decimal
place. Use 4 decimal places for your answer.)
(b) What is the probability that at least one of the vehicles with
a permit will eventually be stolen? (Use 4 decimal places.)
(c) What...

Data from the Motor Vehicle Department indicate that 80%
of all licensed drivers are older than age 25.
a. In a sample of n=50 people who recently received
speeding tickets, 33 were older than 25 years and the other 17 were
age 25 or younger. Is the age distribution for this sample
significantly different from the distribution for the population of
licensed drivers? Use α= 0.05.
b. In a sample of n=50 people who recently received
parking tickets, 36 were...

Data from the Motor Vehicle Department indicate that 80% of all
licensed drivers are older than age 25. In a sample of n = 50
people who recently received speeding tickets, 33 were older than
25 years and the other 17 were 25 or younger. Is the age
distribution for this sample significantly different from the
distribution for the population of licensed drivers? Use α =
.05

Data from the Motor Vehicle Department indicate that 80% of all
licensed drivers are older than age 25. Information on the age of
n = 50 people who recently received speeding tickets was
sourced by researchers who are interested in whether the age
distribution for the sample of drivers who recently received
speeding tickets is different from the age distribution for the
population of licensed drivers.
State your proposed analysis and why you chose that
analysis.

Randy Adams is a 38-year-old male patient of Dr. Joseph
Reynolds who was admitted yesterday morning for 24-hour observation
for mild concussion following a motor vehicle accident. Randy lost
consciousness during the accident and was very confused when he
arrived in the ER after EMS transport. He is an Iraq war veteran
and he seemed to think after the accident that this all happened in
Iraq. Dr. Reynolds is concerned that Randy has some residual
problems from a couple of...
