A particular intersection in a small town is equipped with a surveillance camera. The number of traffic tickets issued to drivers passing through the intersection follows the Poisson distribution and averages 4.5 per month.

a. What is the probability that 5 traffic tickets will be issued at the intersection next​ month?

b. What is the probability that 3 or fewer traffic tickets will be issued at the intersection next​ month?

c. What is the probability that more than 6 traffic tickets will be issued at the intersection next​ month?
