Consider a Poisson process with rate λ. Let N be the number of arrivals in (0,t] and M be the number of arrivals in (0,t+s], where t>0,s≥0.

In each part below, your answers will be algebraic expressions in terms of λ,t,s,m and/or n. Enter 'lambda' for λ and use 'exp()' for exponentials. Do not use 'fac()' or '!' for factorials. Follow standard notation.

For 0≤n≤m, the conditional PMF pM∣N(m∣n) of M given N is of the form ab! for suitable algebraic expressions in place of a and b.

a=(lambda*s)^(m-n)*e^(-lambda*s)

b= m-n

c= lambda^m*s^(m-n)*t^n*e^(-lambda*(s+t))

d= m-n

f= (s^(m-n)*t^n)/((s+t)^m)

g= m

h= m-n

E[NM]= (lambda*t)*(lambda*s)+lambda*t+(lambda*t)^2
