A certain birth defect occurs with probability, p= .0001. Assume that n= 4000 babies are born at a particular large, urban hospital in a given year. Use the POISSON cell function to answer the following questions. Hint: you will have to calculate the expected number of babies born with the defect.

What is the probability that there is at least 1 baby born with the defect?

I don't know what poisson fxn to use. I was think poisson.dist(X, mean, cummulative TRUE), but I don't know what X or the mean is. I don't know what to plug into excel. I know how to figure it out mathematically, but I can't use that equation, I have to use excel.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
