Poisson Probability Distribution Formula

What is Probability in Mathematics?

In Mathematics, Probability theory is the study of chances. In real life, we predict chances depending on the situation. But Probability theory is bringing a mathematical foundation for the concept of Probability. For example, if a box contain 10 balls which include 7 black balls and 3 red balls and randomly chosen one ball. Then the Probability of getting red ball is 3/10 and Probability of getting black ball is 7/10. When coming to statistics, Probability is like the back bone of statistics. It has a wide application in decision making, data science, business trend studies, etc.

What is Poisson Distribution?

A Poisson Distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the number of times an event occurs within a fixed interval of time or space if these events occur with a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event. The Poisson distribution is characterized by a single parameter, the mean number of events per interval (λ). The probability of observing k events in an interval is given by the formula: P(k) = ((e^(-λ)) * (λ^k)) / k! Where k is the number of events, λ is the mean number of events per interval, e is the base of the natural logarithm (approximately 2.718), and k! is the factorial of k (the product of all integers from 1 to k). The Poisson distribution is used to model rare events, such as the number of phone calls received by a call center in a given hour, or the number of patients arriving at an emergency room in a given hour.

How to Calculate Poisson Probability Distribution?

Poisson Probability Distribution calculator uses Poisson's Probability Distribution Function = (e^(-Rate of Distribution)*Rate of Distribution^(Number of Successes in Sample))/(Number of Successes in Sample!) to calculate the Poisson's Probability Distribution Function, The Poisson Probability Distribution formula is defined as the mathematical function that describes the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space, assuming a constant average rate of occurrence. Poisson's Probability Distribution Function is denoted by P_Poisson symbol.
