In 1898 L. J. Bortkiewicz published a book entitled The Law of Small Numbers. He used data collected over 20 years to show that the number of soldiers killed by horse kicks each year in each corps in the Prussian cavalry followed a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.62.

(a) What is the probability of more than one death in a corps in a year?

(b) What is the probability of no deaths in a corps over 7 years?

Round your answers to four decimal places (e. g. 98.7654).
