Answer:

the required probability is 0.09

Option  a) 0.09 is the correct Answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

mean μ  = 7  

x = 4

the probability of exactly 4 bridge construction projects taking place at one time in this state = ?

Using the Poisson probability formula;

P( X=x ) = ( e^-μ × u^x) / x!

we substitute

P(X = 4) = (e⁻⁷ × 7⁴) / 4!

= 2.1894 / 24

= 0.0875 ≈ 0.09

Therefore the required probability is 0.09

Option  a) 0.09 is the correct Answer.
