Poisson Distribution

The Poisson distribution or Poisson law of small numbers is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a number of events occurring in a fixed period of time if these events occur with a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event.

On of the Poisson distribution examples are mortality of infants in a city, the number of misprints in a book, the number of bacteria on a plate, and the number of activations of a geiger counter.

The poisson distribution calculator is the best way to tackle the problems under Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution can be derived as a limiting case of the Binomial Distribution.
