Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.
-A grocery store normally sells 8 jars of caviar per week. Use the Poisson Distribution $\mathrm { P } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \frac { 8 ^ { \mathrm { x } } \mathrm { e } ^ { - 8 } } { \mathrm { x } \text { ! } }$ to find the probability (to three decimals) of selling 3 jars in a week. $( x ! = x \cdot ( x - 1 ) \cdot ( x - 2 ) \cdot \ldots \cdot ( 3 ) ( 2 ) ( 1 ) )$.
