Cars arrive at a "Y" in a road and must choose either the left fork or the right fork. Assume that the number of cars that arrive at the fork has a Poisson distribution, the average number of cars that arrive at the "Y" per minute is 19, and a car arriving at the fork chooses the left fork with probability 8/19 and the right fork with probability 11/19. What is the exact formula for the Poisson distribution that gives the number of cars that travel down the right fork per minute? Your answer should be a function of k and should have an exponent of "e". Warning: to type a factorial like k! in this problem, you need to type "fact(k)." P(X = k) =
