A technology company uses the Poisson distribution to model the number of expected network failures per month. It has been detected that, on average, there are 3 network failures per month 1) What is the probability that the company experiences 2 of network failures in a given month. 2) What is the probability that the company experiences less than 4 network failures in a given month. 3) What is the probability that the company experiences between 2 to 4 network failures in a given month. 4) On average, how many days elapse between two failures? (suppose that a month has 30 days). 5) Note that the waiting time that a network fails follows an exponential distribution with a decay parameter λ = 1. What is the probability that a network fails within 3 days?

Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year period, and the total 280 city-years included a total of 107 homicides. After finding the mean number of homicides per city-year, find the probability that a randomly selected city-year has the following numbers of homicides, then compare the actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities:
