Question

Read the question carefully and give me right solution with clear steps. 

A morning traffic volume on a major road was 670 vehicles during 30 minutes, and a Poisson
distribution can describe the arrival of traffic. The YIELD signs control unsignaled
intersections, where a car from a minor road require a 7 seconds minimum acceptable gap
to cross the major road.
During this period, estimate the number of acceptable gaps on the major roads for the cars
on the minor road to cross.
Answer: Number of acceptable gaps for the cars =
