The number of hits to a website follows a Poisson process. Hits occur at the rate of 2.2 per minute between 7:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M. Given below are three scenarios for the number of hits to the website. Compute the probability of each scenario between 7:42 P.M. and 7:50 P.M. Interpret each result. (a) exactly eight (b) fewer than eight (c) at least eight
