finding X for density function
A city's fire brigade is deployed approximately every 2 days to extinguish a fire. The number of operations X per week is assumed to be Poisson distributed. Calculate the density and the distribution function of the time T that elapses between two fires. Represent both functions graphically.
I have this formula for the density function:
$f(x)=\frac{\mu^x}{x!} \cdot \exp^{-\mu}$
$\mu = 2$ because $2$ days pass between fires I think but I am not sure what $X$ should be.
Solution 1:
If the model il poisson with a mean of $2$ days, this means that $T$, the interarrival time between two fires, is exponentially distributed with mean $1/2$ days, say
$$f_T(t)=2 e^{-2t}~[t>0]$$
the proof is very simple. Understood this, the rest is immediate
