The number of customers arriving per five-minute period at a certain shop has a Poisson distribution with a mean lambda equal to 2. What is the probability that there will be no customers arriving in the next five-minute period? (Give your answer corrected to four decimal points as 0.xxxx) (HINT: No customers means 0 customers.)

Suppose that the mean number of customers who arrive per minute at the bank during the noon-to-1 p.m. hour is equal to 3.0. Find the following: (Poisson) What is the probability that in a given minute, exactly two customers will arrive? What is the probability that more than two customers will arrive in a given minute? What is the probability that exactly 10 customers will arrive in a given 5 minutes?
