4. Poisson Binomial An experiment involves rolling a die 6 times and counting the number of 2s that occur. If we calculate the probability of x  0 occurrences of 2 using the Poisson distribution, we get 0.368, but we get 0.335 if we use the binomial distribution. Which is the correct probability of getting no 2s when a die is rolled 6 times? Why is the other probability wrong?
