7 Let the number of chocolate chips in a certain type of cookie have a Poisson distribu- tion. We want the probability that a randomly chosen cookie has at least two chocolate chips to be greater than .99. Find the smallest value of the mean of the distribution that ensures this probability. 8 Two movie theaters compete for the business of 1,000 customers. Assume that each customer chooses between the movie theaters independently and with "indifference."
