Assume that the Poisson distribution applies to the number of births at a particular hospital during a randomly selected day. Assume that the mean number of births per day at this hospital is 12.9319. Find the probability that in a day, there will be exactly 13 births
Use the Poisson distribution to find the indicated probabilities. In a recent year, NYU-Langone Medical Center had 4221 birhs. Find the mean number of births per day, then use that result to find the probability that in a day, there are 15 births. Does it appear likely that on any given day, there will be exactly 15 births?
