Peter walks 30 feet away from his house and places a mirror on the ground. He backs 6 feet away from the mirror so that he can s
ee the tip of the roof. Peter's eyes are 5 feet above the ground. Peter and the house are both perpendicular to the ground. The angles between the top of the house, the mirror, and the ground and between Peter's eyes, the mirror, and the ground are congruent as shown in the image below:

The Poisson probability distribution function is
where
μ = mean number of successes
x = actual or expected number of successes
Given:
μ = 13
x = 5
Therefore the probability that x=5 is
P(x = 5) = (e⁻¹³*13⁵)/5!
= 0.8392/120
= 0.006994
= 0.0070 (to 4 dec. places)
Answer: 0.0070 (to 4 decimal places)
It is interesting to observe P(x) as x varies, as in the graph shown below.
