The number of requests for assistance are received by a towing ser-vice at an average steady rate of 4 per hour. If, during a normal day therequests are received independently of one another, compute the probabilitythat exactly ten requests are received during a particular 2-hour period of anormal day. Suppose, that the dispatcher ignored at least one call between 2:25pm and 2:45pm. What is the probability that no more than one call was received during this time period? What is the probability that no more thanone call is received between 2:45 pm and 3:00pm?
