i)         What is the probability of no collisions in any particular week?             

ii)        What is the probability that there will be exactly one collision in a week?

iii)       What is the probability of exactly two collisions in a week?                                

iv)       What is the probability of finding no more than two collisions in a week?

v)        What is the probability of finding more than two collisions in a week?

vi)       What is the probability of exactly two collisions in a particular two-week interval?

The city of Seattle reports that there is an average of 1.67 fatal vehicle collisions per month in the city limits. You are interested in the probability of seeing a particular number of fatal collisions during a given month in Seattle. Let Y be the number of months at which the first month that has fewer than 3 fatal collisions is observed. Assume that the months are independent of each other. What is the expected value for the number of...
