John is lying on the sidewalk after robbing a bank, in pain and mulling over how to quantify the uncertainty of his survival, when Dirty Harry walks over. Dirty Harry pulls out his 44 Magnum and puts two bullets opposite each other in the six slots in the cylinder (e.g., if you number them 1 .. 6 clockwise, he puts them in 1 and 4), spins the cylinder randomly, and, saying "The question is, are you feeling lucky, probabalistically speaking, computer science punk?" points it at John head and pulls the trigger.... "CLICK!" goes the gun (no bullet) and Dirty Harry smiles... "How about that .... Let's see if this gun is memory-less!" Without spinning the cylinder again, he points the gun at Wayne's head and pulls the trigger again.

(a) What is the probability that (at least in my dream) John is hit?

(b) Now, suppose that when Dirty Harry put the bullets in the gun, he put them right next to each other (e.g., in slots 1 and 2). He spins it as usual. What is the probability in this case John is hit?

(c) Suppose Dirty Harry puts the bullets in two random positions in the cylinder and we don't have any idea where they are. He spins it as usual. Now what is the probability that John will be hit?

A restaurant manager is interested in taking a more statistical approach to predicting customer load. She begins the process by gathering data. One of the restaurant hosts or hostesses is assigned to count customers every five minutes from 7 P.M. until 8 P.M. every Saturday night for three weeks. The data are shown here. After the data are gathered, the manager computes lambda using the data from all three weeks as one data set as a basis for probability analysis.What value of lambda did she find? Assume that these customers randomly arrive and that the arrivals are Poisson distributed. Use the value of lambda computed by the manager and help the manager calculate the probabilities in parts (a) through (e) for any given five-minute interval between 7 P.M. and 8 P.M. on Saturday night.
