All trucks traveling on Interstate 40
between Albuquerque and Amarillo are required to stop at a weigh
station. Trucks arrive at the weigh station at a rate of 120 per
eight-hour day (Poisson distributed), and the station can weigh, on the
average, 140 trucks per day (Poisson distributed). Suppose arriving
truck drivers look to see how many trucks are waiting to be weighed at
the weigh station. If they see four or more trucks in line, they will
pass by the station and risk being caught and ticketed.
What is the probability that a truck will pass by the station?
