Poisson Distribution

The Poisson distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of events occurring in a given time period, given the average number of times the event occurs over that time period.

Mean of Distribution

Mean of Distribution is the long-run arithmetic average value of a random variable having that distribution.

Symbol: μ

Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Poisson Distribution?

Poisson Distribution evaluator uses Poisson Distribution = Mean of Distribution^(Specific Outcomes within Trials)*e^(-Mean of Distribution)/(Specific Outcomes within Trials!) to evaluate the Poisson Distribution, The Poisson distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of events occurring in a given time period, given the average number of times the event occurs over that time period. Poisson Distribution is denoted by P_poisson symbol.

How to evaluate Poisson Distribution using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Poisson Distribution, enter Mean of Distribution (μ) & Specific Outcomes within Trials (x) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Poisson Distribution

What is the formula to find Poisson Distribution?
