Two identical racing cars are being tested on a circuit. For each car, the number of mechanical breakdowns follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of one breakdown in 100 laps. The first car does 20 laps and the second does 40 laps. What is the probability that there will be one breakdown? Assuming that breakdowns are attended and the car continues on the circuit.
