Solve the following ### Problem Description:The average number of field mice per acre in a 6-acre wheat field is estimated to be 11.**Tasks:**1. **(a) Calculate the Probability for a Single Acre:** Find the probability that fewer than 8 field mice are found on a given acre. 2. **(b) Calculate the Probability for Multiple Acres:** Find the probability that fewer than 8 field mice are found on 2 of the next 4 acres inspected.**Additional Resource:**- A table of Poisson probability sums is provided to assist with these calculations. ### Question Breakdown:1. **(a) The probability that fewer than 8 field mice are found on a given acre is:** \[ \text{(Round to four decimal places as needed.)} \]2. **(b) The probability that fewer than 8 field mice are found on 2 of the next 4 acres inspected is:** \[ \text{(Round to four decimal places as needed.)} \]**Instructions:**- For both parts of the problem, utilize the Poisson probability table to sum up the probabilities of having fewer than 8 field mice. **Understanding Poisson Distribution:**The Poisson distribution helps in determining the probability of a given number of events happening in a fixed interval of time or space when these events occur with a known constant rate and independently of the time since the last event.**How to Use the Poisson Table:**- Find the corresponding probabilities for having 0, 1, 2, ..., up to 7 field mice for the given rate (11 mice/acre in this case).- Sum these probabilities to get the final result.**Visual Representation:**Since this text is intended for an educational website, you could also integrate an example diagram or graph showing the Poisson distribution curve for λ (lambda) = 11, marking the cumulative probability up to 7 mice. This visual representation would help in better understanding the probability distribution.

We have givenλ = 11X ~ Poisson (λ) => X ~ Poisson (11) Formula: P(X = x ) = e-λλx/x!
