5) From past records, the owner of a fast-food restaurant knows that, on average 2.4 cars use the drive-through window between 3:00 PM and 3:15 PM. Furthermore, the number of such cars has a Poisson distribution. Determine the probability that, between 3:00 PM and 3:15 PM: A) Exactly two cars use the drive-through window. B) At least one car uses the drive-through window.
