Q20. If calls arrive at a telephone exchange such that the time of arrival of any call is independent of the time of arrival of earlier of future calls, the probability distribution function of the total number of calls in a fixed time interval will be*NormalBinomial distributionPoisson distributionNone of thes
Solution
The correct answer is Poisson distribution.
Here's why:
The Poisson distribution is a probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event.
In this case, the calls arriving at a telephone exchange are independent events happening over a fixed interval of time, which fits the conditions for a Poisson distribution.
