Probability that the number of cars arriving

Reference no: EM13985508

Suppose that the number of cars arriving in 1 hour at a busy intersection is a Poisson probability distribution with λ = 100. Find, using Chebyshev's inequality, a lower bound for the probability that the number of cars arriving at the intersection in 1 hour is between 70 and 130.
