• P(fish for >2 hours) = P(k=0,τ=2) = e0.6×2

  • P(fish for >2 but <5 hours) = P(first catch in [2,5] hours) = P(k=0,τ=2)(1P(k=0,τ=3) which is no fish in [0,2] but at least 1 fish in the next 3 hours (which will be independent of first 2 hours)

  • P(catch at least two fish) = P(at least 2 catches before 2 hours) = 1P(k=0,τ=2)P(k=1,τ=2)

  • E[fish] has two possibilities, either single fish after 2 hours, or many fist before 2 hours. E[fish]=E[fish|τ2](1P(τ>2))+E[fish|τ>2]P(τ>2)=(0.6×2)×(1P(k=0,τ=2))+1×P(k=0,τ=2)

  • E[Total fishing time] = 2+P(k=0,τ=2)1λ, since we fish for atlest 2 hours

  • E[future fishing time | fished for two hours] can be obtained using the memoryless property of Poisson process. The expected time till first arrival is independent of what has happened till now. Thus, E[T1]=1λ
