Question 1002686: if the probability of a hole in 1 and any given round of golf is .5%, what is the probability of exactly 2 holes in one our of 800 rounds of golf according to the poisson distribution.

expected value is 800*0.005=4
That would be the probability of getting exactly 2 with a Poisson, lambda=4
that is
exp(-4)*4^2/2!
That equals 0.1465
