This appears to be a Poisson probability.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It is given by \"P%28X%29=%28L%29%5EX%2Ae%5E%28-L%29%2FX%21\". Where L represents lambda and the mean. In this case, 1.8 or 9/5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since it says more than 5, we sum up the probabilities from 0 to 5 and subtract from 1.\r
