The article "Expectation Analysis of the Probability of Failure for Water Supply Pipes"† proposed using the Poisson distribution to model the number of failures in pipelines of various types. Suppose that for cast-iron pipe of a particular length, the expected number of failures is 1 (very close to one of the cases considered in the article). Then X, the number of failures, has a Poisson distribution with μ = 1. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
Determine P(2 ≤ X ≤ 4).
