M-4 please help me with the below problem with step by step explanation clearly.

Needed all parts clearly, please.

4. The number X of calls coming into Campus Safety follows a Poisson distribution with parameter
1 = 5. The probability that any particular call is a prank call is 0.2, independent of any other call.
Let Y be the number of prank calls received. This means that, given a value r for X, the variable
Y is binomial with r trials and parameter 0.2.
(a) Determine E(Y |X = x) and V(Y | X = x).
(b) Use the previous part and the laws of total expectation and variance to find E(Y) and V(Y)
(c) Show that Y also has a Poisson distribution. Find its parameter and verify your answer to
the previous item that way.
