Work-related accidents at a construction site tend to have a Poisson distribution with an average of 1.5 accidents per week. a) What is the probability that there will be no work-related accidents at this site during a given week? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) b) What is the probability that there will be at least 1 work-related accident during a given week? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) c) What is the distribution of x, the number of work-related accidents at this site per month? (Assume there are four weeks in a month.) p(x) =
