00:01 In this problem, we are given that x is having poison distribution and p of x equal to 1.
00:09 This is given as two times p of x equal to 2.
00:13 And we are required to determine p of x greater than equal to 2.
00:17 So here we will use this formula for poison distribution, where lambda here is the main number of occurrence.
00:24 So let's plug in the values of x equal to 1 and 2.
00:28 So we would get lambda raised to 1 into e raise to minus lambda by 1 factorial equal to lambda to 2 times 2 into e raise to minus lambda by 2 factorial.
00:41 And on solving this, we're going to get the mean number of occurrence as 1 in the interval...
