Exercise 1. Rachel receives an average of two texts every 3 hours. If we assume that the number of texts is Poisson distributed, what is the probability that she receives five or more texts in a 9 hours period?
Exercise 2. A UConn student claims that she can distinguish Dairy Bar ice cream from Friendly’s ice cream. As a test, she is given ten samples of ice cream (each sample is either from the Dairy Bar or Friendly’s) and asked to identify each one. She is right eight times. What is the probability that she would be right exactly eight times if she guessed randomly for each sample?
