We need to find. I go to the site and type ‘8’ in the box labeled ‘Poisson random variable,’ and I type ‘10’ in the box labeled ‘Average rate of success.’ I click on the ‘Calculate’ box and the site gives me the following answers: P(X = 8) = (Appearing as ‘Poisson probability (i) Use a Poisson distribution to find the probability that, at a given moment, (a) in a randomly chosen area ofacres there are at leastfoxes, (b) in a randomly chosen area Ofacre there are exactlyfoxes.

APPLICATIONS OF THE POISSON The Poisson distribution arises in two waysEvents distributed independently of one an-other in time: X = the number of events When I write X ∼ Poisson(θ) I mean that X is a random variable with its probability distribu-tion given by the Poisson with parameter value θ.
