Homework Statement


If people entering the engineering building following a PP (9/hora) and you know that between 10:00 am and 11:00 am came exactly 100 persons, what is the probability that between 10:00 am and 10:20 am entered less than 20 people

If people entering the engineering building following a PP (9/hora) and you know that between 10:00 am and 11:00 am came exactly 80 persons, what is the probability that between 10:00 am and 10:20 am entered less than 10 people?


If people entering the engineering building following a PP (9/hora) and you know that between 10:00 am and 12:00 am came exactly 2 persons, what is the probability that between 8:00 am and 11:00 am 1 people have entered?

P {N (1 / 3) = 20 / N (1) = 100} = (P {N (1 / 3) = 20, N (1) = 100}) / (P {N (1) = 100} )
= (P {N (1 / 3) = 20} P {N (1)-N (1 / 3 )})/( P {N (1) = 100})
P {N (1) = 100} = (9 ^ 100 e ^ (-9)) / 100! = 3.51 * 10-67
P {N (1 / 3) = 20} = (3 ^ 20 e ^ (-3)) / 20! = 7.14 * 10-11
P {N (2 / 3) = 80} = (6 ^ 80 e ^ (-6)) / 80! = 6.19 * 10-60
(7.14 * 〖10〗 ^ (-11) * 6.19 * 〖10〗 ^ (-60)) / (3.51 * 〖10〗 ^ (-67)) = 1.26 * 10-3
* For n ≤ 20
Σ_ (i = 0) ^ 20 ▒ 〖((3 ^ i / i! 6 ^ (100-i) / (100-i 9 ^ )!))/( 100/100!) = 2.37 * 〖10〗 ^ (-3)〗
----------------------------------
P {N (1 / 3) = 10 / N (1) = 80} = (P {N (1 / 3) = 10, N (1) = 80}) / (P {N (1) = 80} )
= (P {N (1 / 3) = 10} P {N (1)-N (1 / 3 )})/( P {N (1) = 80})
P {N (1) = 80} = (9 ^ 80 e ^ (-9)) / 80! = 3.77 * 10-47
P {N (1 / 3) = 10} = (3 ^ 10 e ^ (-3)) / 10! = 8.1 * 10-4
P {N (2 / 3) = 70} = (6 ^ 70 e ^ (-6)) / 70! = 6.12 * 10-49
(8.1 * 〖10〗 ^ (-4) * 6.12 * 〖10〗 ^ (-49)) / (3.77 * 〖10〗 ^ (-47)) = 1.32 * 10-5
* For n ≤ 10
Σ_ (i = 0) ^ 10 ▒ 〖((3 ^ i / i! 6 ^ (80-i) / (80-i )!))/( 9 ^ 80/80!) = 1.80 * 〖10〗 ^ (-5)〗
--------------------------------------
For the third point, I don't know how take the interval, any advice?

Your question asks about the distribution of *times*, given the total number of events in a Poisson process (over a given interval). The results may surprise you; see http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~ionides/620/notes/poisson_processes.pdf (page 8) or http://www.math.ust.hk/~maykwok/courses/ma246/04_05/04MA246L4B.pdf (page 18)

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
