The number of traffic accidents that occur on a particular stretch of road during a month follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 3. Find the probability of observing two or more accidents on this stretch of road next month.
Solution
Note that P(at least x) = 1 - P(at most x - 1).
Using a cumulative poisson distribution table or technology, matching
u = the mean number of successes = 3
x = our critical value of successes = 2
Then the cumulative probability of P(at most x - 1) from a table/technology is
P(at most 1 ) = 0.199148273
Thus, the probability of at least 2 successes is
P(at least 2 ) = 0.800851727 [ANSWER]
