manufacturing company claims that the number of machine breakdowns follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of two breakdowns every 500 hours. Let x denote the time (in hours0 between successive breakdowns. assuming that the manufacturing company's claim is true, find the probability that the time between successive breakdowns is at most five hours.
