This requires the Poisson distribution, where
area = 5-acres
and mean number of field mice = 12 (in 5-acres of field)
therefore 
lambda=12 (mean, given)
and the probability of k mice in the 5-acre field is given by the Poisson distribution as
P(X=k)=lambda^k * e^(-lambda) / k!   ..............(1)
To find the probability of having LESS than 7 field mice, we add the probabilities of 0 to 6, which is
P(X<7)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+...+P(X=6)
evaluating with equation (1) for X=0 to 6, we get:
0 0.0000061 0.0000742 0.0004423 0.0017704 0.0053095 0.0127416 0.025481Total = 0.045822

Answer: The probability that fewer than 7 field mice are found in the 5-acre field is 0.0458.

$5000 at 6% for 9 months what is the balance
Kay [80]
I think it's suppose to go

6% is .06 divided by 12 which is .005 times the number of months so in this case 9 so 5,000 times .005 times 9 which is 225 so 5,000 plus an interest of 225 adds up to 5,225
