Question

The main number of oil tankers at a port city is 15 per day. The port has facilities to handle up to 18 or tigers in a day. Find the probability that on a given day 15 or tankers will arrive, at most three or old tankers will arrive, and too many oil tankers will arrive.

Explanation / Answer

This is Poisson distribution with lambda=15

We know that P(x)=e^-lembda*lembda^x/x!

P(x=15)=0.1024

P(x>3)=0.9998

P(x>18)=0.1805
