The number of meteors found by a radar system in any 30-second interval under specified conditions averages 1.81. Assume the meteors appear randomly and inde- pendently. a) What is the probability that no meteors are found in a one-minute interval? b) What is the probability of observing at least five but not more than eight meteors in two minutes of observation?
