Determine the formula for the expected value
$begingroup$
So I'm given an assignment in probability and statistic that states the following:
In a supermarket on every cash register cashiers server(independently from one another) a total number of n customers in one hour. The cash registers are not available in any given moment.
If the market has 3 cash registers find the point estimation for the total number of served customers in one hour.
I assume we need to find the expected value after which we will find the point estimation. However I don't know the formula for the density function or for the probability formula if its a discrete distribution.
Is this a variance of the Poisson Distribution?
Thank you in advance.
