Question 321126: In Northern Yellowstone Lake, earthquakes occur at a mean rate of 1.8 quakes per year. Let X be the number of quakes in a given year.
(c) what's the probability More than five quakes? Answer by galactus(183) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This appears to be a Poisson probability.
It is given by . Where L represents lambda and the mean. In this case, 1.8 or 9/5.
Since it says more than 5, we sum up the probabilities from 0 to 5 and subtract from 1.
