Question
![The text discusses a problem involving the Poisson process in the context of a towing service.
---
The number of requests for assistance received by a towing service is modeled as a Poisson process with a rate of \( \alpha = 4 \) per hour.
**(a)** Compute the probability that exactly eleven requests are received during a particular 5-hour period. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
*Response:* [Blank space with incorrect response indicator]
**(b)** If the operators of the towing service take a 30-minute break for lunch, what is the probability that they do not miss any calls for assistance? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
*Response:* 0.135
**(c)** How many calls would you expect during their break?
*Response:* 2
You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.
