71828). In this case, λ = 10 and we want to find P(X>8). This is equivalent to finding 1 - P(X≤8), because the total probability must sum to 1. So, we need to calculate the sum of the probabilities from k=0 to k=8 and subtract this from 1. Show more…

If random variable X has a Poisson distribution with mean = 10, find the probability that X is at least 2. (That is, find P(X ≥ 2) round to 4
Suppose $X$ has a Poisson distribution with a mean of $4 .$ Determine the following probabilities: (a) $P(X=0)$ (b) $P(X \leq 2)$ (c) $P(X=4)$ (d) $P(X=8)$
