(1) Suppose earthquakes recorded in Ontario each year follow a Poisson process with an averageof 6 per year. The probability that 7 earthquakes will be recorded in a 2 year period is f(7) == .0437. We have used λ = 6 and t = 2 to get μ = 12.127e-12(2) At a nuclear power station an average of 8 leaks of heavy water are reported per year. Find theprobability of 2 or more leaks in 1 month, if leaks follow a Poisson process.

Hi there! Thanks for posting the question. As we are entitled to solve one question at a time I will…
