Only in certain circumstances:
The probability of success, p, in each trial must be close to 0.
Then, for the random variable, X = number of successes in n trials, the mean is np
and the variance is np(1-p). But since p is close to 0, (1-p) is close to 1 and so np(1-p) is close to np.
That is, the mean of the distribution is close to its variance. This is a characteristic of the Poisson distribution.
Furthermore, the other characteristics of the distribution: constant probability, independence are met so the Binomial can be approximated by the Poisson.
It is possible to prove this analytically but the limitations of this browser - especially in terms of mathematical notation - preclude that.

2 a2 is a monomial, not a binomial but 2 + a2 is a binomial, so is 2 - a2 .
(2x - 5) is a binomial factor
No, it is a monomial.
no or false
if the 5x2y means 5x2y + 4x - 6 then yes it is a binomial but if the 5x2y means 5x * 2y + 4x - 6 then no it is not a binomial a nomial means one degree. a binomial means something to the second power. a polynomial means anything that has a 3rd power and greater.
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.
Discrete
The binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution. The number of possible outcomes depends on the number of possible successes in a given trial. For the Poisson distribution there are Infinitely many.
Because "n" is very large and "p" is very small. where "n'' indicates the fixed number of item. And ''p'' indicates the fixed number of probability from trial to trial.
The Poisson distribution is characterised by a rate (over time or space) of an event occurring. In a binomial distribution the probability is that of a single event (outcome) occurring in a repeated set of trials.
The Poisson distribution is a limiting case of the binomial distribution when the number of trials is very large and the probability of success is very small. The Poisson distribution is used to model the number of occurrences of rare events in a fixed interval of time or space, while the binomial distribution is used to model the number of successful outcomes in a fixed number of trials.
For the binomial, it is independent trials and a constant probability of success in each trial.For the Poisson, it is that the probability of an event occurring in an interval (time or space) being constant and independent.
The Poisson distribution with parameter np will be a good approximation for the binomial distribution with parameters n and p when n is large and p is small. For more details See related link below
The binomial distribution can be approximated with a normal distribution when np > 5 and np(1-p) > 5 where p is the proportion (probability) of success of an event and n is the total number of independent trials.
The Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution.
The binomial distribution which, for large numbers of rolls can be approximated by the Gaussian distribution.
The triangular, uniform, binomial, Poisson, geometric, exponential and Gaussian distributions are some that can be so defined. In fact, the Poisson and exponential need only the mean.
