The number of industrial injuries per working month in a particular factory is known to follow a Poisson distribution with mean 0.5. Find the probability that in a week there will be atleast 2 accidents.

In a large factory, there is an average of two accidents per day, and the time between accidents has an exponential density function with an expected value of $\frac{1}{2}$ day. Find the probability that the time between accidents will be less than 8 hours ($\frac{1}{3}$ day).
