The number of major snowstorms (that shut down businesses) has a Poisson distribution with rate 0.4 per month from January through March. A restaurant buys an insurance policy to insure against losses. The policy pays nothing for the first major snowstorm that occurs in January through March, but pays $2,000 for every major snowstorm thereafter for that period up to $6,000. a) Find the probability there are 4 or more snow storms during the 3-month period.

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Emergency 911 calls to a small municipality in Idaho come in at the rate of one every four minutes. Assume that the number of 911 calls is a random variable that can be described by the Poisson distribution. (a) What is the expected number of 911 calls in 1 hour? 15 (b) What is the probability of three 911 calls in 5 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) x (c) What is the probability of no 911 calls in a 5-minute period? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) x
