A telephone company's goal is to have no more than 4 monthly line failures on any 100 miles of line. The company currently experiences an average of 4 monthly line failures per 50 miles of line. Let x denote the number of monthly line failures per 100 miles of line. Assuming x has a Poisson distribution: (a) Find the probability that the company will meet its goal on a particular 100 miles of line. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability (b) Find the probability that the company will not meet its goal on a particular 100 miles of line. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability
