cities were combined for a​ 20-year period, and the total

280
 

​city-years included a total of 168 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:

a.​P(0) equals

​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)

b. P(1)equals
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
 
c.​P(2)equals
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
 
d.P(3)equals
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
 
e.​P(4)equals
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
