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 Standard Deviation of Poisson Distribution?

Standard Deviation of Poisson Distribution calculator uses Standard Deviation in Normal Distribution = sqrt(Mean in Normal Distribution) to calculate the Standard Deviation in Normal Distribution, Standard Deviation of Poisson Distribution formula is defined as the square root of expectation of the squared deviation of the random variable that follows Poisson distribution, from its mean. Standard Deviation in Normal Distribution is denoted by σ symbol.
