This problem can be modeled using a Poisson distribution, which is suitable for describing the probability of a given number of events (such as breakdowns) occurring within a fixed interval of time, given a known average rate of occurrence.

Given:

• The average number of breakdowns is 1 every 3 weeks.
• The time period we are interested in is 21 weeks.
• Therefore, the expected number of breakdowns during 21 weeks is: $\lambda = \frac{21}{3} = 7$ where $\lambda$ represents the expected number of breakdowns over the 21-week period.

We need to find the probability of more than 4 breakdowns during this period. Let $X$ be the random variable representing the number of breakdowns in 21 weeks. The probability of having more than 4 breakdowns is: $P(X > 4)$ To calculate this, first, we calculate the complementary probability $P(X \leq 4)$, and then subtract it from 1: $P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)$

The cumulative probability $P(X \leq 4)$ for a Poisson distribution is calculated using the Poisson formula for each $k$ breakdown: $P(X = k) = \frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}$ for $k = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4$. We sum these probabilities and then subtract from 1 to get $P(X > 4)$.

Step-by-step calculation:

1. $P(X = 0)$: $P(X = 0) = \frac{7^0 e^{-7}}{0!} = e^{-7}$
2. $P(X = 1)$: $P(X = 1) = \frac{7^1 e^{-7}}{1!} = 7 e^{-7}$
3. $P(X = 2)$: $P(X = 2) = \frac{7^2 e^{-7}}{2!} = \frac{49 e^{-7}}{2}$
4. $P(X = 3)$: $P(X = 3) = \frac{7^3 e^{-7}}{3!} = \frac{343 e^{-7}}{6}$
5. $P(X = 4)$: $P(X = 4) = \frac{7^4 e^{-7}}{4!} = \frac{2401 e^{-7}}{24}$

Finally, sum these probabilities and subtract from 1 to find $P(X > 4)$.
