Answer
The number of calls received after [math]t[/math] seconds equals [math]N_t[/math] has a Poisson distribution with mean [math]\lambda t [/math] where [math]\lambda [/math] is the expected number of calls after 1 second, namely 0.01. Hence the probability that we have at most one call during a 5 minute break equals approximately
[[math]]1-\exp(-0.01 * 60*5) = 0.95[[/math]]
