An electronic store sells computers. The demand for computers follows a Poisson distribution with mean 3.2 per week. i. Find the probability that the demand is exactly 3 computers per week. ii. The store has 4 computers at the beginning of the week. Find the probability that this will not be enough to satisfy the demand for computers in that week.

An electronics firm receives, on the average, fifty orders per week for a particular silicon chip. If the company has sixty chips on hand, use the central limit theorem to approximate the probability that they will be unable to fill all their orders for the upcoming week. Assume that weekly demands follow a Poisson distribution. (Hint: See Question 4.3.18.)
