A security consultant has observed that the attempts to breach the security of the companys computer system occurs according to a Poisson process with a mean rate of 3 attempts per day. (The system is on 24 hours per day.)
(a) What is the probability that there will be four breach attempts tomorrow, and two of them will occur during the evening (eight-hour) shift?
Given that
λ = 3 ( 24 hours )
λ = 3 * 1/3 ( 8 hours)
= 1
probability that there will be four breach attempts tomorrow,
probability that two of them will occur during the evening (eight-hour) shift
