Which distribution function has equal mean and variance?
The exponential distribution and the Poisson distribution.
How do you calculate the mean and variance of a poisson distribution as a function of time t?
Divide the total number of incidents by the total time. The result, representing the average number of incidents per unit of time, is the mean as well as the variance of the Poisson distribution.
Are the mean and standard deviation equal in a poisson distribution?
The mean and variance are equal in the Poisson distribution. The mean and std deviation would be equal only for the case of mean = 1. See related link.
Can the variance of a normally distributed random variable be negative?
No. The variance of any distribution is the sum of the squares of the deviation from the mean. Since the square of the deviation is essentially the square of the absolute value of the deviation, that means the variance is always positive, be the distribution normal, poisson, or other.
If X has Poisson distribution does aX plus b have Poisson Distribution?
Yes.

Are the mean and variance equal in the poisson distribution?
yes
What are the properties of poisson distribution?
It is a discrete distribution in which the men and variance have the same value.

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.
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.
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.
