Reference no: EM131130915

Suppose that events occur at random in the plane, in such a way that the number of events in a region i? is a random variable having a Poisson distribution with parameter λA, where A is a positive constant and A denotes the area of the region R. A point is taken at random in the plane. Let D be the distance between this point and the nearest event. Calculate the mean of the random variable D
