A particular intersection in a small town is equipped with a surveillance camera. The number of traffic tickets issued to drivers passing through the intersection follows the Poisson distribution and averages 5.8 per month. a. What is the probability that 5 traffic tickets will be issued at the intersection next month? b. What is the probability that 3 or fewer traffic tickets will be issued at the intersection next month? c. What is the probability that more than 6 traffic tickets will be issued at the intersection next month?
