1 In a study of urban foxes it is found that on average there are 2 foxes in every 3 acres.
- Use a Poisson distribution to find the probability that, at a given moment,
(a) in a randomly chosen area of 3 acres there are at least 4 foxes,
(b) in a randomly chosen area of 1 acre there are exactly 2 foxes. - Explain briefly why a Poisson distribution might not be a suitable model.
