Step 1
Step 1: Recall the formula for the probability mass function (PMF) of a Poisson random variable: P(X = k) = (e^(-λ) * λ^k) / k! where λ is the mean of the Poisson distribution. Show more…

If X has a Poisson random variable with P(X = 1) = P(X = 2), find P(X = 3). What is the probability that X, a Poisson random variable with mean λ, is less than the mean by more than σ standard deviations?
