A First Course in Probability 9
Suppose that the number of events that occur in a specified time is a Poisson random variable with parameter \(\lambda\). If each event is counted with probability \(p\), independently of every other event, show that the number of events that are counted is a Poisson random variable with parameter \(

Two particles are fixed on an x axis. Particle 1 of charge 40 mC is located at x # $2.0 cm; particle 2 of charge Q is located at x # 3.0 cm. Particle 3 of charge magnitude 20 mC is released from rest on the y axis at y # 2.0 cm.What is the value of Q if the initial acceleration of particle 3 is in th
