Poisson Distribution

Question 1

Conditions for poisson

Answer 1

• time of each event (or position) is independent of previous events
• probability of each event occurring in a given interval of time(space) is fixed
• two evens cannot occur at exactly the same time (or position)

Question 2

what is the poisson distribution?

Answer 2

is the rate at which events occur
(on average) in the required
interval of time or space

Question 3

Ppd

Answer 3

P=X

Question 4

Pcd

Answer 4

P less than or equal to X

Question 5

in poisson, what is the relationship between mean and varience

Answer 5

they are BOTH equal to lamda (the mean of s particular distribution)

Question 6

If there are two poissons and the question asks for something of EITHER type then…

Answer 6

you ad the means together and find the poisson from that
