The number of tricycle collisions that occur in Davao City is often modeled as a Poisson random variable. Assume that on the average there are 6 accidents per hour. (a) What is the probability that there are exactly 3 accidents in one hour? (c) What is the probability that there are exactly 3 accidents in 30 minutes? (d) What is the probability that there are at least 2 accidents in one hour?
