Problem 8BSC
Aircraft Accidents. Assume that the Poisson distribution applies, assume that the mean number of aircraft accidents in the United States is8.5per month (based on data from the National Transportation and Safety Board), and proceed to find the indicated probability.
Find P(12), the probability that in a month, there will be 12 aircraft accidents. Is it unlikely to have a month with exactly 12 aircraft accidents?
