As a result a new Camden County Police department will include 400 officers and be responsible for an area covering nine square miles. Suppose the number of times a police cruiser from this new department drives through the Whitman Park neighborhood during 1 hour perioud is a random variable, X, with probability distribution given in the table below:

a) probability that at most two police cruisers will drive through the neighborhood
=P(0)+P(1)+P(2) = 0.3679+0.3679+0.1839 =0.9197
b) P(atleast four) =P(4)+P(5)+........+P(7)=0.0153+0.0031+0.0005+0.0001 =0.019
