bookChallenge: Solving Task Using Poisson Distribution

Task

In a city, car accidents occur on average 12 times from 8 am to 8 pm daily. What is the probability of observing exactly 4 car accidents from 8 am to 12 pm on a randomly chosen day?

You have to:

  1. Calculate desired_mu, which will represent the average number of accidents during the desired period of time.
  2. Calculate the corresponding probability using the Poisson distribution.
