, during the hours of heavy traffic on a bridge, the traffic is considered random with a volume of 960 vehicles per hour per lane, determine, for this lane, the probability of (a) not more than 3 cars in an interval of 15 seconds, (b) at least 6 cars in the same time interval. (Hint: start by computing the return period for one vehicle)
