The number of children in the family follows a Poisson distribution with λ = 1.8. Six families with kids are invited to a birthday party. What is the probability that more than 15 kids come to the party. Give the answer under two scenarios: (a) family brings all kids they have, and (b) the probability that they bring a child is 0.8.
