The number of times a machine malfunctions per week follows a Poisson distribution and the probability that it does not malfunction at all during one week equals e1/3, What is the expected value of the number of times it malfunctions in a certain 8 week period? What is the variance in the number of times it malfunctions in that 8 week period?
