Question

2) Use the probabilities from the first probability distribution above to create a probability distribution for the number of scale stations to open. For example, 0-5 trucks, open 1 scale station; 6-10 trucks, open 2 scale stations, etc. What is the expected number of scale stations needed?

Answer 1

Explanation:

based on the mean rate of 17trucks, poisson distribution (which is a discrete probability distribution that states the probability or likelihood of a given number of events happening in a set interval of space or time if these events take place with a known constant mean rate and autonomously of the time since the last event) will be used
