The average number of automobiles entering a mountain tunnel
per minute period is 1. Excessive number of cars entering the
tunnel during a brief period of time produces a hazardous
situation. Assuming the Poisson process:

An insurance portfolio contains policies for three categories of
policyholder: A, B and C. The number of claims in a year, N, on
an individual policy follows a Poisson distribution with mean .
Individual claim sizes are assumed to be exponentially distributed
with mean 4 and are independent from claim to claim. The
distribution of , depending on the category of the policyholder, is:

Insurer A has a combined home insurance and landlords insurance
portfolio. The total number of claims for this portfolio is modelled
using a Poisson process with expected claims 300 per year. The
proportion of landlords insurance claims was 1/5 of the overall
claims. Insurer A sells its home insurance portfolio to insurer B.
Insurer B specialises in home insurance and has no landlords
insurance policies. The expected number of claims for the old
portfolio of insurer B was 120.

A 24 hour convenience store has three cashiers, Ralph, Vincent,
Benjamin. Customers arrive according to a Poisson process with
rate per hour and join the queue if there are already 3 customers
served. Each cashier serves customers with service times
exponential with mean 1 per hour.
