Given that x is a random variable for which a Poisson probability distribution provides a good approximation,

Question:

Given that x is a random variable for which a Poisson probability distribution provides a good approximation, use Table III in Appendix: Tables to compute the following:

a. P(x … 2) when l = 1

b. P(x … 2) when l = 2

c. P(x … 2) when l = 3

d. What happens to the probability of the event 5x … 26 as l increases from 1 to 3? Is this intuitively reasonable?
