Math Problem Statement

b) The probability using the Poisson distribution is    enter your response here. ​(Round to five decimal places as​ needed.)

Solution

It looks like you're asking about calculating a probability using the Poisson distribution. To help you properly, I'll need the specific values you're working with, such as:

  1. The mean rate (λ) — the average number of occurrences in a given interval.
  2. The number of occurrences (k) — the specific number of events you want to calculate the probability for.

The general formula for the Poisson probability is:

P(X=k)=λkeλk!P(X = k) = \frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}

Where:

  • P(X=k)P(X = k) is the probability of having exactly k events,
  • λ\lambda is the average number of events (mean rate),
  • kk is the number of events for which you want the probability,
  • ee is the base of the natural logarithm (approximately 2.71828).

Could you provide the values for λ\lambda (mean rate) and kk (the number of events you're interested in)? That way, I can help you compute the probability accurately.
