The modeling and solution of problems concerning motel
reservation networks for motels were studied. Researchers defined a
Type I call to be a call from a motel's computer terminal to
the national reservation center. For a certain motel,
the number, X, of Type 1 calls per hour has a Poisson
distribution with parameter
λ=1.4.
Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
Question content area bottom
Part 1
a. Determine the probability that the number of Type 1 calls
made from this motel during a period of 1 hour will be exactly
four.
The probability that exactly
four
Type 1
calls are
made is

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Part 2
b. Determine the probability that the number of Type 1 calls
made from this motel during a period of 1 hour will be at most
three.
The probability that at most
three
Type 1 calls are made is

(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Part 3
c. Determine the probability that the number of Type 1 calls
made from this motel during a period of 1 hour will be at least
three.
(Hint: Use the complementation rule.)The probability that
at least
three
Type 1 calls are made is
