Customers depart from a bookstore according to a Poisson process with rate A per hour Each customer buys a book with probability p, independent of everything else. Find the distribution of the time until the first sale of a book. Find the probability that no books are sold during a particular hour. Find the expected number of customers who buy a book during a particular hour.

Respuesta :

The distribution of the time until the first sale of a book [tex]f(x)=\lambda p e^{\wedge_{-}} \lambda p x[/tex]

The probability that no books are sold during a particular hour [tex]\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{y}=0)=\mathrm{e}^{\wedge}-\lambda \mathrm{p}[/tex].

The expected number of customers who buy a book during a particular hour [tex]\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{y})=\lambda \mathrm{p}[/tex]

As per the details share in the above question are as follow,

Poisson process with a rate λ per hour

While customer buys a book with probability p

First we have to find the distribution of the time until the first sale of a book.

Second  to find the probability that no books are sold during a particular hour.

Third to find the expected number of customers who buy a book during a particular hour.

Giving the duration till a book sells its first copy

Consider,

Following are some instances of waiting times,

[tex]f(x)=\lambda p e^{\wedge_{-}} \lambda p x[/tex]

The distribution of the time until the first sale of a book [tex]f(x)=\lambda p e^{\wedge_{-}} \lambda p x[/tex]

Now, to calculate the likelihood that no books will be sold at a specific time.

[tex]\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{y}=0)=\mathrm{e}^{\wedge}-\lambda \mathrm{p}[/tex]

The probability that no books are sold during a particular hour [tex]\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{y}=0)=\mathrm{e}^{\wedge}-\lambda \mathrm{p}[/tex].

Consider the Poisson distribution to determine the anticipated number of book purchases during a specific hour.

[tex]\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{y})=\lambda \mathrm{p}[/tex]

The expected number of customers who buy a book during a particular hour [tex]\mathrm{E}(\mathrm{y})=\lambda \mathrm{p}[/tex].
