The Poisson distribution is a discrete distribution, with random variable k, related to the number events. The discrete probability function (probability mass function) is given as: f(k; L) where L (lambda) is the mean and square root of lambda is the standard deviation, as given in the link below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_distribution

What are the median and mode of a normal distribution if the mean is 22 and the standard deviation is 4?
The mean, median, and mode of a normal distribution are equal; in this case, 22. The standard deviation has no bearing on this question.
Can The standard deviation of a distribution be a negative value?
No. The standard deviation is not exactly a value but rather how far a score deviates from the mean.
A normal distribution can have any mean and any positive standard deviation?
Yes.
How do you calculate probability given mean and standard deviation?
The mean and standard deviation do not, by themselves, provide enough information to calculate probability. You also need to know the distribution of the variable in question.
What is the number of trials in a binomial distribution that has a mean of 8 and a standard deviation of 2?
There are 16 trials.
