Extracted text: 6. A transportation department is considering placing stop lights at a busy 4-way-stop intersection. Let X1, X2, X3, X4 represent the number of drivers arriving per minute at the respective stop signs. Assume- these to be four mutually independent Poisson random variables with respective means of 2, 5, 4 and 2. (a) Find the mean and standard deviation of S = Xị. (b) Confirm that S ~ Poisson(13) (c) Compute P(S = 0).
