Help Previous question Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year

Previous question Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year period, and the total 280 city-years included a total of 151 homicides. After finding the mean number of homicides per city-year, find the probability that a randomly selected city-year has the following numbers of homicides, then compare the actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities: Homicides each city-year b. c. 2 1 3 Actual results 164 87 24 1 a. P(0)= (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. P(1) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.) c. P(2) = (Round to four decimal places as heeded.) d. P(3) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.) 0. P(4) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.) The actual results consisted of 164 city-years with 0 homicides; 87 city-years with one homicide; 24 city-years with two homicides; 4 city-years with three homicides; 1 city-year with four homicides. Compare the actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities. Does the Poisson distribution serve as a good tool for predicting the actual results? No, the results from the Poisson distribution probabilities do not match the actual results. O Yes, the results from the Poisson distribution probabilities closely match the actual results. Next
