In a Poisson distribution with an expected value (average) of 5, which x-value will have a higher probability: 7 or 10? Briefly explain why. [You cannot actually compute these probabilities. Instead, just tell me whether x = 7 or x = 10 would have a higher probability AND explain how you know.]

  The blue link below should open a PDF of the formula sheet. You can open that, and leave it open during the exam. If the link does not work, you can use the image below for test formulas. You will need to scroll back to the top of the test to refer to the formulas in that case.   Please answer True. Test 2 Formulas
