Lost baggage. Occasionally an airline will lose a bag. Suppose a small airline has found it can reasonably model the number of bags lost each weekday using a Poisson model with a mean of 2.2 bags.
(a) What is the probability that the airline will lose no bags next Monday?
(b) What is the probability that the airline will lose 0, 1, or 2 bags on next Monday?
(c) Suppose the airline expands over the course of the next 3 years, doubling the number of flights it makes, and the CEO asks you if it’s reasonable for them to continue using the Poisson model with a mean of 2.2. What is an appropriate recommendation? Explain.
