company has 9000 arrivals of Internet traffic over a period of 18,050 thousandths of a minute. Let the random variable x represent the number of such Internet traffic arrivals in one thousandth of a minute. It appears that these Internet arrivals have a Poisson distribution. If we want to use the formula P(x)= (μ^x • e^−μ) / x! to find the probability of exactly 2 arrivals in one thousandth of a​ minute, what are the values of μ​, ​x, and e that would be used in that​ formula?
