It is known that a particular radiological emission has a Poisson distribution, with an average count of 3 per millisecond. The probability that during any two millisecond interval there will be 3 or more emission is:
My answer using the poisson distribution formula is the following
1 - (( e^-3 * 3^0 / 0!) + (e^-3 * 3^1 / 1!) + (e^-3 * 3^2 / 2!))
1 - 0.0497... + 0.149... + 0.22...
= 0.5768
However, I got it wrong for some reason, what is the correct answer and solution? I am thinking that the 2 millisecond interval plays a role in the question but not sure how.
I know the answer is either 0.938 or 0.062
Correct solution and answer?
