Question 841610: Joe's job is to provide technical support to computer users. Suppose the arrival of calls can be modeled by a Poisson distribution with a mean of 9.5 calls per hour. What's the probability that in the next 10 minutes there will be 3 or more calls? Round your answer to the nearest thousandths place.

Hi,

Note:  Using TI Calcuator

The syntax is 1 � poissoncdf(mean, largest x-value).

mean/10min  is 9.5/6 = 

probability that in the next 10 minutes there will be 3 or more calls?

P(x ≥ 3) = 1 � P(x ≤ 2).

1 � poissoncdf(19/12, 2).
