Solution
To find the probability that is at least 2, where follows a Poisson distribution with parameter , we want to calculate .
The Poisson distribution probability mass function (PMF) is given by:
To find , we can use the complement rule:
where
Let's calculate these probabilities and then find .The probability that is at least 2, given that follows a Poisson distribution with , is approximately 0.594.
