If the polynomial function is written in the form P(x) = c(x − a)2(x − b)(x + d), where a, b, c, and d are all positive integers, then what is the value of a?

The random variable x is the number of occurrences of an event over an interval of ten minutes. it can be assumed that the probability of an occurrence is the same in any two-time periods of an equal length. it is known that the mean number of occurrences in ten minutes is 5.3. the appropriate probability distribution for the random variable
