Suppose N is a Poisson random variable with mean A. Show that E (1+a)M=
for any constant a.

(b) Telephone calls enter a switchboard in a Poisson process of rate A every 10 minutes. In
a 10 minute period, N calls enter the switchboard.
chance an unofficial tea-break, the operator wants to estimate the probability 0 that

N.
Write down an expression for 0 in terms of A. Use this, together with the result in
part (a), to suggest an unbiased estimator T(N) of 0. Is this estimator sensible?
