nighttime traffic on a single lane of rural highway is light, with a flow of 40 vehicles/hour , and is well described by a Poisson arrival process. A racoon dashes across the road, without looking at a speed of 12 mph. If vehicles on the road are 7 ft wide and drivers take no action to avoid animals, what is the probability the raccoon is killed? Assume the vehicles are low enough that they cant pass over a raccoon without causing death, that getting hit is always fatal to the raccoon, that theraccoon stops if a vehicle passes in front of it. If the next morning, 5 newly-dead raccoons are found along the side of the highway, estimate the number of raccoons that attempted to cross the highway during the night.
