In my pond there are on average 2 fish per cubic yard of water. If we assume the fish do not school and are moving around independently of each other, then in any three dimensional region of the pond the number of fish is independent of the number in any other such region, and the expected number is proportional to the volume of the region. For a very tiny region, it is virtually impossible to find more than one fish. If we have an underwater scanner capable of locating fish, what is the probability (to two decimal place accuracy) we will have to scan over 7 cubic yards to find 12
