A car hire firm has two cars, which it hires out day by day. The number of demands for a car on each day is distributed as a Poisson distribution with mean 1.5. Calculate the proportion of days on which neither car is used and the proportion of days on which some demand is refused. (e-1.5 = 0.2231).

A car hire firm has two cars, which it hires out day by day. The number of demands for a car on each
day is distributed as a Poisson distribution with mean 1.5. Calculate the proportion of days on which
neither car is used and the proportion of days on which some demand is refused. (e-lS = 0.2231).
