Question
Find the probabilities for $x$ using the Poisson formula.$$\mu=3 ; P(x=0), P(x=1), \text { and } P(x>1)$$
Step 1
We use the Poisson formula which is given by: $$ P(x=0) = \frac{\mu^x e^{-\mu}}{x!} $$ Substituting $\mu=3$ and $x=0$ into the formula, we get: $$ P(x=0) = \frac{3^0 e^{-3}}{0!} = 0.049787 $$ Show more…
