1. Ship collisions in the Houston Ship Channel are rare. Suppose the number of collisions are Poisson distributed, with a mean of 1.2 collisions every four months. What is the probability of havingone or fewer collisions over a four-month period? Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

2. The U.S. national average door-to-doctor wait time for patients to see a doctor is now 21.3 minutes. Suppose such wait times are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 6.7 minutes. Some patients will have to wait much shorter than the mean to see the doctor. Based on this information, 10% of patients will have to wait less than how many minutes to see a doctor? Round your answer in one decimal place.
