Customers arrive at a grocery store at an average of 2.2 per
minute. Assume that the number of arrivals in a minute follows the
Poisson distribution. Provide answers to the following to 3 decimal
places.
Part a)
What is the probability that exactly two customers arrive in a
minute?
Part b)
Find the probability that more than three customers arrive in a
two-minute period.
Part c)
What is the probability that at least seven customers arrive in
three minutes, given that exactly two arrive in the first
minute?

An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 150lb and 201lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 158lb and a standard deviation of 34.2 lb.
a. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 150lb and 201lb.
b. if the number different pilots are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean weight is between 150lb and 201lb
c. When redesigning the ejection seat, which probability is more relevent ?

The number of contaminants in samples of one cubic centimetre of polluted water has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 1.
a. What is the probability a sample will contain some (one or more) contaminants?
b. If four samples are independently selected from this water, find the probability that at least one sample will contain some (one or more) contaminants?
c. If 100 samples are selected instead, what is approximately the probability of seeing at least 60 samples with a contaminant? (Use the Normal table provided for your calculations)

A telemarketer knows that, on average, he is able to make three sales in a 45-minute period. Suppose the number of sales he can make in a given time period is Poisson distributed.
a) What is the probability that he makes two sales in a 30 -minute period?
b )What is the probability that he makes at least two sales in a 30-minute period?
c) What is the probability that he makes only one sale in an hour-long period?
Please provide good explanation.

1- Medical oxygen tanks carried by paramedics and used in hospitals contain a higher concentration of carbon dioxide than normal air. Explain the effect of this extra CO2 on a person being treated and the medical reason for this effect.
2- Most doctors agree that after a person quits smoking, the deposits in their lungs will be removed after a period of time, depending on how long the person smoked. What mechanism removes these deposits?
