According to a recent study, on average, one child is treated in a hospital Emergency Room every two hours as a result of an injury from an amusement park ride.37 Suppose a two-hour period is selected at random.
a. What is the probability that no children will be treated in an Emergency Room as a result of an injury from an amusement park ride?
b. What is the probability that at most three children will be treated in an Emergency Room as a result of an injury from an amusement park ride?
