2.6 6. An automobile manufacturer is concerned about a fault in the braking mechanism of a particular model.The fault on rare occasions causes a catastrophe at high speed. Assume that the distribution of the numberof cars per year will experience the fault is 8 on the average, find the probability that (a) at most 3 cars peryear will experience a catastrophe, (b) more than 1 car per year will experience a catastrophe.

It is given that the average (µ) is 8.
