Use the Poisson Distribution to find the indicated probability:
The number of goals scored at each game by a certain hockey team follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 5 goals per game. Find the probability that the team scored exactly three goals in each of four randomly selected games.
Solution
P(x=3) e^(-5)* 5^(3) / 3! = 0.1404
