Suppose that on the average, 5 students enrolled in a small liberal arts college have their automobiles stolen during the semester. What is the probability that less than 4 students will have their automobiles stolen during the current semester? Round your answer to four decimal places.
use excel function POISSON
we have to find P(X<x) = POISSON(x-1,mean,cumulative)
where x = 4, mean = 5 and cumulative =TRUE
P(X<4) = POISSON(4-1,5,TRUE) = 0.2650 (4 decimals)
