In the example: P(x; μ) = (e-μ) (μx) / x! P(3; 2) = (2.71828-2) (23) / 3! P(3; 2) = (0.13534) (8) / 6 P(3; 2) = 0.180 Where 3! = 6, how was that number calculated? In the example: P(x < 3, 5) = P(0; 5) + P(1; 5) + P(2; 5) + P(3; 5) P(x < 3, 5) = [ (e-5)(50) / 0! ] + [ (e-5)(51) / 1! ] + [ (e-5)(52) /
