Arrivals at a fast-food restaurant follow a Poisson distribution with a mean arrival rate of 16 customers per hour. In the study of statistics and probability, the Poisson distribution is a widely-used discrete probability distribution. Using the formula, it was determined that 0.0661 is the probability that in the next hour there will be exactly 12 arrivals.
