Answer

It is unusual because $P(4~or~more)\lt0.05$

Work Step by Step

The probability to find 4 or more is the complement of the probability to find 3 or fewer. Using the Complement Rule (see page 275): $P(4~or~more)=1-P(3~or~fewer)=1-0.9841=0.0159$ $P(4~or~more)\lt0.05$. So, it is an unusual event.
