The Metropolis police station calls Superman an average of 3 times per hour to ask for his help. The probability that the station calls Superman in a time interval is dependent only on the length of the time interval and, furthermore, is independent of whether or not the department called Superman on any previous time interval. Superman goes on a date with Lois Lane and picks her up from her place at 7:00pm.
If the number of times he is called is independent from one hour to the next, what is the probability that Superman and Lois can finish their 4 hour date uninterrupted?
