Let X be the number of material anomalies occurring in a particular region of an aircraft gas-turbine disk. The article “Methodology for Probabilistic Life Prediction of MultipleAnomaly Materials” (Amer. Inst. of Aeronautics and Astronautics J., 2006: 787-793) proposes a Poisson distribution for X. Suppose that μ = 4.a. Compute both P(X ≤ 4) and P(X < 4).b. Compute P(4 ≤ X ≤ 8).c. Compute P(8 ≤ X).d. What is the probability that the number of anomalies exceeds its mean value by no more than one standard deviation?
