It has been observed that the number of traffic accidents on the L.I. expressway requiring medical assistance is a Poisson Distribution with the mean equal to 4 in one day. Find the probability that the number of such accidents is at most 6 in one day. Round answers to 4 places.
the environmental protection agency (EPA) limits the amount of vinyl chloride in the plant air emission to no more than 10 parts per millions. suppose a mean emission of vinyl chloride for a partiular plant is 4 parts per million. assume the number of parts per million of vinyl chloride in air sample x follows a Poisson probability distribution what is the standard deviation of the plant is it likely that a sample of air from the plant would yield a value of x that would exceed the EPA limit? explain. note that P(x <=9)= 0.991868
