Suppose <math>p</math> is the number of cars per minute passing through a certain road junction between 5 PM and 6 PM, and <math>p</math> has a Poisson distribution with mean 3. What is the probability of observing fewer than 3 cars during any given minute in this interval?

(A) $8/(2e^{3})$

(B) $9/(2e^{3})$

(C) $17/(2e^{3})$

(D) $26/(2e^{3})$
