let's see, that's 2 miles of highway and 3 or fewer potholes"

Tryst your question has to do with probability & mean and I don't do mean so you have to wait for someone else to answer"
As the queen of mean; let me help you out
The number of potholes of miles of highway has a Poisson distristribution with a mean of 3. The number of potholes in two miles of highway would have a Poisson distristribution with a mean of 6.
The probability of x potholes in two miles of highway is e^-6*6^x/x!.
The probability of 0 potholes is e^-6*6^0/0! = e^-6.
The probability of 1 pothole is e^-6*6^1/1! = 6*e^-6.
The probability of 2 potholes is e^-6*6^2/2! = 18*e^-6.
The probability of 3 potholes is e^-6*6^3/3! = 36*e^-6.
Take the sum the answer is 61*e^-6 =~ 0.151204 .
This answer was formed with thanks from the May 1982 Actuary Exam.

Here is a riddle for you all. What is the probability that I will be able to pm in my lifetime, assuming I live another 20 years?"
About the same as a grudge match between Bigfoot and a Cyclops. However, Philip Morris (PM) Cigarettes don't have the smooth cool taste of Marlboro! (Smoking Kills).

He Left Me With The Herpes - Lyrics
He left me with the herpes,
Oh, why did he do that?
Last night, I sat upon a chair and gave it to the cat.
The cat gave it to Rover
And to the mousie too
The mousie gave it to the bird,
I don't know what to do!
A mother said her son
Was a nice boy and refined,
It must have been another boy
Certainly not mine,
That darling mother's mistaken;
He's the only boy I knew
Since Rooselvelt won the elction in 1932!
He left me with the herpes,
Even roaches won't come near.
Mosquitoes will not bite me 'cause they sense my blood's not clear!
My chamber maid is suing,
And taking me to court,
She cleaned my room the other day,
And you know what she caught!
I left her with the herpes,
Like it was left for me,
And there are many listening to this song who have the same, you see.
The only good advice I give is take a book to bed.
And let him take blood test every day that you are wed!
He left me with the herpes.
I don't know what to do.
My life's a social wreck.
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
If anybody out there can come up with a cure,
I'll be the very first in line, on that you can be sure!
How are you doin' Tiny Tim?
Thank you Miss mi, you are just too kind; are you looking to adopt?
Anybody I missed out
good luck smiles on you!!!
Let a and b be the legs of a right triangle and c be the hypotenuse. Prove that a2 + b2 = c2
Hint: The sum of the angles of any triangle is 180 degrees.
isn't this> 
funny?
