A quick question! The number of episodes per year of otitis media follows a Possion distribution with lambda = 1.6 episodes per year. Wouldn't the probability of getting 3 or more episodes of otitis media in the first 2 years of life be:
> ppois(q=3, lambda=1.6*2, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE) [1] 0.6025197 I am confused with the lambda and 3 or more.. thx much ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
