An installation technician for a specialized communication system is dispatched to a city only when 3 or more orders have been placed. Suppose the orders follow a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.26 per week for a city with a population of 100,000 and suppose your city contains 800,000. Round your answers to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654). (a) What is the probability that a technician is required after a 1-week period? Probability = i (b) If you are the first one in the city to place an order, what is the probability that you have to wait more than 2 weeks from the time you place your order until a technician is dispatcher? Probability i =
