can someone help me with the last question? thanks

Suppose the number X of tornadoes observed in a particular region during a 1-year period has a Poisson distribution with 2 = 8.
(a) Compute P(X < 5).
0.1912
(b) Compute P(6<x< 9).
0.5254
(c) Compute P(10 < X).
0.283
(d) What is the probability that the observed number of tornadoes exceeds the expected number by more than 1 standard deviation?
