Find probability of 0, 1, and 2. Subtract that from 1 and that is probability of at least 3.
\n" ); document.write( "P(0)=e^(-2)*2^0/0!=e^(-2)=0.1353
\n" ); document.write( "p(1)=e^(-2)*2^1/1!=0.2707
\n" ); document.write( "p(2)=e^(-2)*2^2/2!=0.2707
\n" ); document.write( "That sum is 0.6770
\n" ); document.write( "the answer is 1-0.6770=0.323.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "1-poissoncdf(2,2)=0.323
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "this is z=(230-250)/50 or -2/5 and z=(260-250)/50 or +1/5
\n" ); document.write( "that is from 0.3446 to 0.5793 or 0.2347.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "the mean is 80 (400*0.2)
\n" ); document.write( "the variance is 80*0.8=64
\n" ); document.write( "sd is sqrt(V)=8
\n" ); document.write( "this would be (79.5-80)/8 +(80.5-8)/8, using the continuity correction factor.
\n" ); document.write( "or z= -0.5/8 to +0.5/8, which is -0.0625 to +0.0625.
\n" ); document.write( "That is probability 0.0237 on each side or 0.0494 total. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
