Suppose that in Problem 1, A1 is agile enough to escape from a single car, but if he encounters two or more cars while attempting to cross the road, then he is injured. What is the probability that he will be unhurt if it takes him 5 seconds to cross? Do this exercise for s = 5, 10, 20, 30.

Problem 1

Cars cross a certain point in the highway in accordance with a Poisson process with rate = 3 per minute. If A1 runs blindly across the highway, what is the probability that he will be uninjured if the amount of time that it takes him to cross the road is s seconds? (Assume that if he is on the highway when a car passes by, then he will be injured.) Do this exercise for s = 2, 5, 10, 20.
