A two-dimensional Poisson process is a process of randomly occurring events in the plane such that
(i) for any region of area A the number of events in that region has a Poisson distribution with mean λA, and
(ii) the number of events in non-overlapping regions are independent.
For such a process, consider an arbitrary point in the plane and let X denote its distance from its nearest event (where distance is measured in the usual Euclidean manner). Show that
(a) P{X>t} = e−λπt2
