Question 1

A hospital records an average of 15 patients visiting the emergency room per day. What is the probability that exactly 20 patients will visit tomorrow?

πŸ’‘ Hint: This is an application of the Poisson formula with specified parameters.

Question 2

In a certain cemetery, there is an average of 3 funerals held each week. Calculate the probability that in a week, there will be no funerals.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Assess how the average rate plays into calculating the probabilities.
