Independent Poisson process properties

77 Views Asked by At

There are two types of incoming calls to a telephone office. The first type requires commercial information and the second type not. Suppose the arrival of these two types of calls can be represented by separate Poisson processes with rates $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$. What is the probability that between two non-business calls come five business calls?
