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.
