Answer:

P (3 or fewer) =0.2650

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = x` = 5

The Poisson distribution formula  is given by

P(X) = e-ˣ` x`ˣ/ x!

The mean is 5 and the X takes the values 0,1,2,and 3 which means 3 or fewer, so we add the probability of all the values of X to get the desired Value of X.

P(3 or fewer ) = e-⁵ (5)³/3!+  e-⁵ (5)²/2! +e-⁵ (5)/1!+e-⁵ (5)⁰/0!

Putting the Values

P (3 or fewer) = 0.006737 . 125 / 6 + 0.006737 . 25 / 2 +0.006737 . 5 / 1 + 0.006737 . 1 / 1

P (3 or fewer) = 0.140374 + 0.08422+ 0.03369 +0.006737

P (3 or fewer) =0.2650
