1 In a survey of the tideline along a beach, plastic bottles were found at a constant average rate of 280 per kilometre, and drinks cans were found at a constant average rate of 220 per kilometre. It may be assumed that these objects were distributed randomly and independently.
Calculate the probability that:
- a 10 m length of tideline along this beach contains no more than 5 plastic bottles;
- a 20 m length of tideline along this beach contains exactly 2 drinks cans;
- a 30 m length of tideline along this beach contains a total of at least 12 but fewer than 18 of these two types of object.
