Assuming Lambda = .01. Using Excel's "Poisson" function yields:

0 0.9900498
1 0.0099005
2 0.0000495
3 0.0000002
4 0.0000000
5 0.0000000

So the probability of "no one" turning Fran down is greater than 99%. The probability of "one or more unfortunate souls" turning her down is less than one percent. If I had more time I could do something much better but gotta go in early tomorrow!

Looking good Fran!
