| Sep 6, 2013 at 21:12 | comment | added | user39646 | Sheldon Ross suggests that for Poisson random variables $X$ and $Y$ with parameters $\lambda$ and $\mu$ respectively, $P(X < Y) = \lambda/(\lambda + \mu)$, which is the same for the probability of two Exponential random variables with the same respective intensity parameters. Not sure how he justifies it, although for a Poisson PROCESS, it makes sense. Any thoughts on why this may be? | |
