Here's the Solution to this Question

we define p ( x=4 ) as the probability of exactly four cars arriving

Assuming that the random variable x has a poison distribution with mean = 5 and x = 4, we have

p ( x=4 ) = ( ( e-5) * ( 54) ) / ( 4*3*2*1) which yields 0.175467370 which is the required probability.
