An automated radar gun is placed on a road to record the speed of the cars passing by. The automated radar gun records 0.41% of the cars going more than 20 miles per hour above the speed limit. Assume the number of cars going more than 20 miles above the speed limit has a Poisson distribution.   Answer the following for the Poisson distribution. The sample size is 300.   The parameter l = ________________.     Find the mean and variance for the Poison distribution.   Mean: ________________           Variance: _________________           The probability is ___________________ that for 300 randomly chosen cars, more than 5 of these cars will be exceeding the speed limit by more than 20 miles per hour.
