The number of automobiles entering a tunnel per 2-minute period follows a Poisson distribution. The mean number of automobiles entering a tunnel per 2-minute period is four. (A) Find the probability that the number of automobiles entering the tunnel during a 2minute period exceeds one. (B) Assume that the tunnel is observed during four 2-minute intervals, thus giving 4 independent observations, X1, X2, X3, X4, on a Poisson random variable. Find the probability that the number of automobiles entering the tunnel during a 2-minute period exceeds one during at least one of the four 2-minute intervals.

6. For a certain section of a pine forest, the number X of diseased trees per acre has a Poisson distribution with mean λ = 5. (C) Suppose we have 4 plots of forest, each one acre in size, giving 4 independent Poisson random variables, X1, X2,..., X4 with mean λ = 5. Find the probability that at least two of the plots of forest have 2 or more diseased trees per acre.
