If a drop of water is examined under a microscope, the number x of a specific type of bacteria present has been found to have a Poisson probability distribution. Suppose the maximum permissible count per water specimen for this type of bacteria is thirteen. If the mean count for your water supply is seven and you test a single specimen, is it likely that the count will exceed the maximum permissible count? Explain.
