Suppose the number of hits a webpage receives follows a Poisson distribution. The average number of hits per minute is 2.4. What is the probability the page will get at least one hit during any given minute?

The probability that the page will get at least one hit during any given minute is 0.9093.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of hits a web page receives per minute.

The random variable X follows a Poisson distribution with parameter,

λ = 2.4.

The probability function of a Poisson distribution is:

Compute the probability that the page will get at least one hit during any given minute as follows:

P (X ≥ 1) = 1 - P (X < 1)

             = 1 - P (X = 0)

Thus, the probability that the page will get at least one hit during any given minute is 0.9093.
