The Poisson experiment is characterized as follows:   number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space. those events happen with a known average rate; and those events are independent of the time since the last event. Based on the above characteristics, Think of a Poisson experiment example from your own area of interest.  Describe how the selected experiment meets all the characteristics of a Poisson experiment. The Poisson distribution may also be used to approximate the binomial distribution. Explain this relationship with an example.

Question

The Poisson experiment is characterized as follows:

 

  • number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space.
  • those events happen with a known average rate; and
  • those events are independent of the time since the last event.

Based on the above characteristics,

    • Think of a Poisson experiment example from your own area of interest.
    •  Describe how the selected experiment meets all the characteristics of a Poisson experiment.
    • The Poisson distribution may also be used to approximate the binomial distribution. Explain this relationship with an example.
