0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7
Find
a. P ( x ≤ 4)
P ( x ≤ 4) means 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 successes
0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7
b. P ( x < 3)
0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7
0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7
and P( x ≤ 7) =1 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 successes
d. P ( x ≥ 3)
P ( x ≥ 3) means 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 successes
0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7
And P( x ≤ 7) =1 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 successes
So P( x ≥ 3) = 1 − P ( x ≤ 2) = 1 − 0.096 = 0.904
e. P( x = 5)
0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7
P ( x ≤ 5) = 0.841 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 successes
P ( x ≤ 4) = 0.580 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 successes
The Poisson tables are also cumulative and must be used in the same way as the binomial
tables to answer P ( x ≤ , x < , x > or x ≥ ) questions.
