6. Suppose that the number of accidents occurring in an industrial plant is described by a Poisson distribution with an average of one accident per month. Let’s x denote the time (in months) between successive accidents. Find the probability that the time between successive accidents is:a. More than two months.b. Between one and two months.c. Less than one week (1/4 of a month).d. Suppose that an accident occurs less than one week after the plant’s mostrecent accident. Would you consider this event unusual enough to warrant special investigation? Explain.
