Question:

Singh et al. (A-8) looked at the occurrence of retinal capillary hemangioma (RCH) in patients with von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) disease. RCH is a benign vascular tumor of the retina. Using a retrospective consecutive case series review, the researchers found that the number of RCH tumor incidents followed a Poisson distribution with l ¼ 4 tumors per eye for patients with VHL. Using this model, find the probability that in a randomly selected patient with VHL:

(a) There are exactly five occurrences of tumors per eye.

(b) There are more than five occurrences of tumors per eye.

(c) There are fewer than five occurrences of tumors per eye.

(d) There are between five and seven occurrences of tumors per eye, inclusive.
