You can put this solution on YOUR website! the average number of field mice per acre in a 5 acre wheat field is estimated to 10 .
find the probability that a given acre contain more than 15 mice
P(x > 15) = 1 - P(x ≤ 14).
Using Poisson Distribution:
mean = 10 (10 per acre average)
P(x > 15) = 1 - poissioncdf(mean, largest x-value).
P(x > 15) = 1 - poissioncdf(10,14) = 1- 0.9165 = .0835
