Which distribution can we use in this case? b. What is the probability that we observe at least 3 births in a 2-hour interval? c. Suppose that births occur randomly in hospital A and hospital B at an average rate of 2.1 births and 3 births per hour, respectively. What is the probability that we observe 7 births in total from the two hospitals in a 1-hour period?
