In bottle production, bubbles that appear in the glass are considered defects. Any bottle that has more than two bubbles is classified a "nonconforming" and is sent to recycling. Suppose that the number of bubbles in a bottle is Poisson distributed with an average of 1.1 bubbles per bottle. Bubbles occur independently from one another. What is the probability that a randomly chosen bottle is nonconforming?
