5. Suppose that Joe is a grocery store clerk. The time \( X \) (in minutes) that Joe spends checking out a randomly selected customer has a probability density function (pdf)

\[
f(x) = \frac{5x^4}{243} \cdot e^{-\left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^5} = \frac{5x^4}{243} \cdot \exp \left( -\left( \frac{x}{3} \right)^5 \right), \quad 0 < x < \infty.
\]

What is the probability that Joe will spend at least 4 minutes checking out his next customer?
