The average number of field mice per acre in a 5-acre wheat field is estimated to be 14. (a) Find the probability that fewer than 12 field mice are found on a given acre. (b) Find the probability that fewer than 12 field mice are found on 2 of the next 3 acres inspected.

(a)

(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a

This is a Poisson distribution. The average/mean, μ = 14

So, probability that fewer than 12 field mice are found on a given acre is:

Question b

This is a Binomial distribution with:

Probability of success, p = 0.26

n = 3

they can both be solutions depends on the equation
