Answer:

[tex]P(x>1)=0.9927[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mean [tex]\=x =7[/tex]

Generally the Poisson equation for \=x is mathematically given by

[tex]P(x>1)=1-P(x \leq 1)[/tex]

Therefor

[tex]P(x>1)=1-(\frac{e^{-7}*7^0}{0!}+{\frac{e^{-7}*7^1}{1!})[/tex]

[tex]P(x>1)=1-(9.1*10^{-4}+6.3*10^{-3})[/tex]

[tex]P(x>1)=1-(7.3*10^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]P(x>1)=0.9927[/tex]
