This discussion centers on the challenges faced in solving homework problems related to Poisson processes, specifically questions 1.B, 1.C, 2.B, and 2.C. A participant expresses confusion regarding the computation of the probability P[N(2)-N(1)=5|N(1)=5], which is deemed incorrect due to a misunderstanding of the fundamental properties of Poisson processes. The conversation emphasizes the importance of grasping these properties to accurately solve related problems.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying statistics, particularly those tackling problems involving Poisson processes, as well as educators seeking to clarify these concepts for their students.

Here's what I've tried so far, not really sure how to go on with these problems. Been reading the textbook up and down on Poisson processes!
Any hints or help? Especially 1.B, 1.C and 2.B, 2.C
