  • Card 25 / 25:
    Poisson distribution

    If there is a known average of λ events occurring per unit time, and these events are independent of each other, then the number of events X occurring in one unit of time has the Poisson distribution. The probability of k events occurring in one unit time is equal to P ( X = k ) = λ k e − λ k ! .
