Question 1150443: 1. An average of 2.5 accidents occur per day in a large city. Using the poisson formula, find the probability that the number of accidents that occur on a given day will be less than 3.
2. Suppose in another city the average number of accidents per day is 5.8 using the poisson table find the probability that the number of accidents on a given day will be
I. Less than 11. II. At least 3. III. At most 12.
