### Calculate Each Poisson Probability

**a. Calculate the probability for \( P(X = 6) \) with \( \lambda = 7 \).**  
*Round your answer to 4 decimal places.*

- **Probability:** [         ]

---

**b. Calculate the probability for \( P(X = 11) \) with \( \lambda = 10 \).**  
*Round your answer to 4 decimal places.*

- **Probability:** [         ]

---

**c. Calculate the probability for \( P(X = 2) \) with \( \lambda = 9 \).**  
*Round your answer to 4 decimal places.*

- **Probability:** [         ]

---

For each scenario, use the Poisson probability formula:

\[
P(X = k) = \frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^k}{k!}
\]

Where:
- \( \lambda \) is the average rate of occurrence,
- \( k \) is the actual number occurring,
- \( e \) is approximately equal to 2.71828.
