Question

What type of probability distribution can be used to find out the probability that there will be no customers arriving at a checkout counter in 10 minutes?

Answer 1

The answer is Poisson distribution

Explanation:

What is Poisson distribution?

A Poisson distribution is a statistical analysis that describes the number of times that an event will likely occur during a period of time.

The expression for the distribution is given as

P(x; μ) = (e-μ) (μx) /x!

Where x is the actual number of successes that result from the experiment, and e is approximately equal to 2.71828.
