Question 1199410
.
4.4.2 Suppose that over a period of several years the average number of deaths from a certain noncontagious disease has been 10. 
If the number of deaths from this disease follows the Poisson distribution, what is the probability that during the current year: 
a. Exactly seven people will die from the disease? 
b. Ten or more people will die from the disease?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



As I read this problem, I see that it is defective.


To be correct, in the first sentence the problem must say that '10' is the average number of deaths <U>per year<U>.
