According to the article "Desktop Traveler: Prison Tours" by K. McLaughlin (Wall Street Journal, December 3,2002, p. D8), jails should be on the top of your list of travel destinations, if you aren't among the 1 in every 146 Americans already in prison. Use this information and the Poisson distribution to determine the approximate probability that at most three people in a random sample of 500 Americans are currently in prison.
