Key Concepts

Probability Mass Function (PMF)

The probability mass function for the Poisson distribution calculates the probability of observing exactly k events. It is given by the formula P(X=k) = (e^(-?) * ?^k) / k!. This formula is used to compute the likelihood of specific outcomes within the distribution.

Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF)

The cumulative distribution function for the Poisson distribution accumulates the probabilities from 0 up to a certain number of events (k). It provides the probability of observing k or fewer events, which is useful in determining the likelihood of a range of outcomes rather than a single value.

Poisson Distribution

The Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space under the assumption that these events occur with a constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event.

Parameter ?

The parameter ? (lambda) represents the average rate of occurrence of the events in the interval. In the Poisson distribution, ? is both the mean and the variance, making it a central value in determining the shape of the distribution.
