Abstract

Resource Image In this project students learn to derive the probability density function (pdf) of the Poisson distribution and the cumulative distribution (cdf) of the waiting time. They will use them to solve problems in stochastic processes.

Description

Suppose you want to find the probability of 5 costumers entering a certain bank between 9 AM and 11 AM. The process that addresses this problem, and similar problems, is called the Poisson process.

In this activity you will find a formula for the Poisson process by solving a system of differential equations.
