Question: An average of 0.8 accidents occur every day on the roads of Trinidad and Tobago. Find the probability that at least 2 accidents will occur in Trinidad and Tobago on a given day.

 

Student's attempt
Let X = the number of accidenty
X ~ Po(0.8)
The possible values of X are 1, 2, 3,s
P(X > 2) = 1 - [P(X=1) +P(X =2)]
e*0.8'
