(A) The average arrival rate, $\lambda$, is $240 	ext{ vehicles/hour} = \frac{240}{3600} 	ext{ vehicles/second} = \frac{1}{15} 	ext{ vehicles/second}$.For a time interval $t = 30 	ext{ seconds}$, the expected number of arrivals is $\mu = \lambda t = \frac{1}{15} 	imes 30 = 2$.According to the Poisson distribution, the probability of $n$ arrivals is $P(n) = \frac{\mu^n e^{-\mu}}{n!}$.We need to find the probability of more than two vehicles arriving, i.e.,$P(n > 2) = 1 - [P(0) + P(1) + P(2)]$.Calculating individual probabilities:$P(0) = \frac{2^0 e^{-2}}{0!} = e^{-2}$$P(1) = \frac{2^1 e^{-2}}{1!} = 2e^{-2}$$P(2) = \frac{2^2 e^{-2}}{2!} = \frac{4e^{-2}}{2} = 2e^{-2}$Summing these probabilities: $P(n \leq 2) = e^{-2} + 2e^{-2} + 2e^{-2} = 5e^{-2}$.Therefore, $P(n > 2) = 1 - 5e^{-2} = 1 - \frac{5}{e^2} = \frac{e^2 - 5}{e^2}$.

An observer counts $240$ vehicles per hour at a specific location on a highway. Assuming that the arrival of vehicles at the location follows a Poisson distribution, the probability that more than two vehicles arrive over a $30 \text{ sec}$ time interval is
