Please answer both if you can! Thank you
Suppose that the number of drivers who travel
between a particular origin and destination
during a designated time period has a Poisson
distribution with parameter
H = 20
What is the probability that the number of
drivers will be equal to 5?
O (e^(-20))/5!
O (e^(-20)*20^^5)/5!
O (e^(-5)*20^5)/20!

Suppose that the number of drivers who travel
between a particular origin and destination
during a designated time period has a Poisson
distribution with parameter
H = 20
What is the probability that the number of
drivers will be 0?
O 1-(e^(-20)*20^5)/5!
O 1-e^(-20)
O e^(-20)
