Which of the following distributions can be used to solve the following problem? The average number of cars arriving at a drive-thru fast food restaurant is 3 in ten minutes, what is the probability that exactly 4 cars will arrive in a five minute interval?

a. Binomial
b. Poisson
c. Both of the above
d. None of the above

b. Poisson

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that exactly 4 cars will arrive in a five minute interval can be calculated through Poisson distribution because when the rate of change or time period is concerned Poisson distribution is a suitable choice. In other words, when events occur randomly over a specific interval time or space or length.
