On a peak day, an average of 70% of all lot 1 parking stickerholders show up, an average of 72% of all lot 2 parking stickerholders show up, and an average of 74% of all lot 3 parking stickerholders show up.

a.Given the current situation, estimate the probability that on apeak day, at least one faculty member with a sticker will be unableto find a spot. Assume that the number who show up at each lot isindependent of the number who show up at the other two lots.Compare two situations: (1) each person can park only in the lotassigned to him or her, and (2) each person can park in any of thelots (pooling). (Hint: Use the RISKBINOMIAL function.) Ifneeded, round your answer to a whole percentage and if your answeris zero, enter "0".
