The distribution used to describe the number of events that occur when a given average number of events is expected is the Poisson distribution.
<h3>What is Poisson distribution?</h3>
The Poisson is a distribution of probabilities used in statistics to indicate number of times times an occurrence is likely to happen over a certain time period.
Some key features regarding the Poisson distribution are-
It is, in other words, a count distribution. Poisson distributions are frequently used to analyze independent events that happen at a constant rate during a specified time frame.
It was named after Siméon Denis Poisson, a French mathematician.
A Poisson is a discrete function, which means that the variables can only take values from a (possibly endless) list.
To put it another way, the variable cannot accept all values in either continuous range.
The variable in the Poisson distribution could only accept whole values (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.), no fractions or decimals.
