Let X be the number of cases in 1 month
X follows Poisson distribution with parameter (rate) Poisson where
+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)
Answer=1- (0.018316 + 0.073263 + 0.146525 + 0.195367 + 0.195367)=0.371163
Use excel function POISSON.DIST (X, mean, cumulative) to calculate
1-POISSON.DIST (4,4 TRUE)=0.37116306482
