Suppose that teams arrive starting at 8 am at a Poisson rate of 5 per hour to join a competition to be held the next day. If the number of members in each team is independent and takes on values 3, 4, 5, with respective probabilities 0.3, 0.6, 0.1, what is the expected number of participants who arrived from 8 to 10 am?
