He used data collected over 20 years to show that the number of soldiers killed by horse kicks each year in each corps in the Prussian cavalry followed a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.61. a) What is the probability of more than 1 death in a corps in a year? b) What is the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years? Round your answers to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654). a) The probability is i b) The probability is i
