Suppose that previously collected traffic data indicate that, during the afternoon rush hour, an average of 4 cars arrive at a toll bridge each second. If it is assumed that cars arrive randomly, and can thus be modeled with Poisson distribution, what is the probability that in the next second, NO cars will arrive?

Use the Poisson Distribution with λ = 4 and x = 0
Using the Poisson Distribution calculator, we get P(0; 4) = 0.0183
