Step 1
A Poisson probability distribution is a discrete probability distribution because it deals with counting the number of occurrences of an event in a given time or space interval. The values that the random variable can take are discrete and countable. b. A Poisson Show more…

Suman Saurav T.
Two characteristics, or assumptions, of the Poisson distribution are that Select one: A. the event occurring in any interval is dependent on the event occurring in any other nonoverlapping interval, and the random variable of interest is continuous. B. the event occurring in any interval is independent of the event occurring in any other nonoverlapping interval, and the random variable of interest is continuous. C. the probability of success remains constant from trial to trial, and the random variable of interest is continuous. D. the event occurring in any interval is independent of the event occurring in any other nonoverlapping interval, and the random variable of interest is discrete.
