5. Emergency patients arrive at a dental surgery at a mean rate of one every 2 hours. Calculate the probability that such a patient arrives within the next 1.5 hours. The surgery manager wants to avoid the arrival of two such patients within one half-hour period. Calculate the probability of this event happening.
