Given a poisson random variable x, where the average number of successes occurring in a specified interval is 1.8, then p(x = 0) is:
-1.8
-1.3416
-0.1653
-6.05

0.1653

Step-by-step explanation:

The Poisson distribution formula for probability is given by :-

, where = mean of the distribution and  x is the number of successes .

Given a Poisson random variable X, where the average number of successes occurring in a specified interval is 1.8.

i.e.

Then,

Put value of e= 2.71828

Hence, the correct answer is 0.1653  .

not enough information

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
