Poisson distribution with mean µ = 2 is P(k)=k!2ke−2 , where k is a number of accidents per week.
P(0)=0!20e−2≈0.135
If mean for 1 week is 2 accidents, then mean for 2 weeks is 4 accidents. Poisson distribution with mean µ = 4 is P(k)=k!4ke−4, where k is a number of accidents per 2 weeks.
Probability of at most three accidents is
P(0)+P(1)+P(2)+P(3)=0!40e−4+1!41e−4+2!42e−4+3!43e−4≈0.433
