Answer:
1.83% probability there are no car accidents on that stretch on Monday
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given time interval.
The number of accidents on a certain section of I-40 averages 4 accidents per weekday independent across weekdays.
This means that
What is the probability there are no car accidents on that stretch on Monday?
This is P(X = 0).
1.83% probability there are no car accidents on that stretch on Monday
