import math

def p(n):
    return 393000*((288200/393000)^n * math.exp(-(288200/393000)))/math.factorial(n)

print p(3)

When I run it, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "poisson.py", line 6, in <module>
    print p(3)
  File "poisson.py", line 4, in p
    return 393000*((288200/393000)^n * math.exp(-(288200/393000)))/math.factoria
l(n)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for ^: 'int' and 'float'
