Suppose <math>p</math> is the number of cars per minute passing through a certain road junction between 5 PM and 6 PM, and <math>p</math> has a Poisson distribution with mean $3$. What is the probability of observing fewer than 3 cars during any given minute in this interval?

Poisson Probability Density Function (with mean $\lambda$) = $\lambda^{k} / (e^{\lambda}k!)$,
We have to sum the probability density function for $k = 0,1$ and $2$ and $\lambda$ = 3 (thus finding the cumulative mass function)
=$(1/e^3) + (3/e^3) + (9/2e^3)$
