Let (X(t) : t ≥ 0) be a Poisson process of rate 2. Form a new process by deleting alternate arrivals from the process (X(t) : t ≥ 0) starting with the first (so we keep the 2nd, 4th, 6th etc.). Let (Y (t) : t ≥ 0) be the process which counts surviving arrivals. (i)  Calculate P(Y (t) = 0) (ii)  Determine the cumulative distribution function of the time of the first arrival in the process (Y(t) : t ≥ 0) (iii)  Explain why this shows that (Y (t) : t ≥ 0) is not a Poisson process

Question

Let (X(t) : t ≥ 0) be a Poisson process of rate 2. Form a new process by deleting alternate arrivals from the process (X(t) : t ≥ 0) starting with the first (so we keep the 2nd, 4th, 6th etc.). Let (Y (t) : t ≥ 0) be the process which counts surviving arrivals.

(i)  Calculate P(Y (t) = 0)

(ii)  Determine the cumulative distribution function of the time of the first arrival

in the process (Y(t) : t ≥ 0)

(iii)  Explain why this shows that (Y (t) : t ≥ 0) is not a Poisson process
