Question:

Suppose that incoming telephone calls behave according to a Poisson process with intensity 12 per hour. What is the probability that more than 15 calls will occur in any given one hour period? If the person receiving the calls takes a fifteen minute coffee break, what is the probability that no calls will come in during the break? (Calculate this probability in two different ways, once using the Poisson distribution and once using the exponential distribution.)
