Given that x has a Poisson distribution with equals12 what i

Given that x has a Poisson distribution with equals=1.2 what is the probability that x equals=5? P(5)almost equalsnothing (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Solution

Note that the probability of x successes out of n trials is          
          
P(x) = u^x e^(-u) / x!          
          
where          
          
u = the mean number of successes =    1.2      
          
x = the number of successes =    5      
          
Thus, the probability is          
          
P (    5   ) =    0.006245563 [ANSWER]
