What are examples of Poisson's distribution?
Radioactive decay of unstable atomsTelephone calls arriving at a switchboardPhotons arriving at a telescopeMutations on a given strand of DNA
If X has Poisson distribution does aX plus b have Poisson Distribution?
Yes.
Why belong exponential family for poisson distribution or geometric distribution?
Why belong exponential family for poisson distribution
What is the difference between poisson distribution and poisson process?
A poisson process is a non-deterministic process where events occur continuously and independently of each other. An example of a poisson process is the radioactive decay of radionuclides. A poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that represents the probability of events (having a poisson process) occurring in a certain period of time.
Which distribution function has equal mean and variance?
The exponential distribution and the Poisson distribution.

If the number of customers follows a Poisson distribution with a rate of 5.6 per minute what is the distribution of the time it will take for the next two customers to arrive?
Average number of arriving customers in 4 minute interval is 2.8 and poison distributed what is the probability that exactly six customer will arrive in a 4 minute interval?
Which distribution is used to find probabilities about the number of independent events occurring in a fixed time period with a known average rate?
The Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution.
Is the Poisson probability distribution discrete or continuous?
The Poisson distribution is discrete.
If X has Poisson distribution does aX plus b have Poisson Distribution?
Yes.

What is the difference between poisson and binomial distribution?
Poisson and Binomial both the distribution are used for defining discrete events.You can tell that Poisson distribution is a subset of Binomial distribution. Binomial is the most preliminary distribution to encounter probability and statistical problems. On the other hand when any event occurs with a fixed time interval and having a fixed average rate then it is Poisson distribution.
Whose distribution belong exponential family?
Poisson distribution or geometric distribution
Which distribution function has equal mean and variance?
The exponential distribution and the Poisson distribution.
Which shape describes a Poisson distribution?
symmetrical
Is the sample size in poisson probability distribution?
It can be.
