TopicApproximating the Binomial to the Poisson distribution
TypeCalculate single probability using Poisson approximation

1 A random variable \(X\) has the distribution \(\mathrm { B } \left( 4500000 , \frac { 1 } { 1000000 } \right)\).
Use a Poisson distribution to calculate an estimate of \(\mathrm { P } ( X \geqslant 4 )\).
