Probability problem?

In the last 65 years, there have been 42 major volcanic eruptions around the world. Use the Poisson distribution to find the probabilites that there were 0,1, or 2 major volcanic eruptions in TWO randomly selected years. Calculate the mean number of volcanic eruptions in two years. What is the probability that there were 3 OR MORE major volcanic eruptions in two randomly selected years.
