So I was given this problem by my professor:
Unfortunately he is unreachable during the holidays. Can someone explain what lambda is supposed to be?
This is the code I have written thus far:
function p=calcprob(k)
p=exp(-lambda)*(((lambda)^k)/(factorial(k)))
end

It is a Poisson's Distribution......lambda is the average number of events (here cars) per interval. Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution
