Poisson Command
- Poisson( <Mean> )
-
Returns a bar graph of a Poisson distribution with given mean λ.
- Poisson( <Mean>, <Boolean Cumulative> )
-
Returns a bar graph of a Poisson distribution when Cumulative = false. Returns a graph of a cumulative Poisson distribution when Cumulative = true. The first parameter is same as above.
- Poisson( <Mean>, <Variable Value v>, <Boolean Cumulative> )
-
Let X be a Poisson random variable. Returns P( X = v) when Cumulative = false. Returns P( X ≤ v) when Cumulative = true. First parameter is same as above.
Examples:
-
Poisson(3, 1, true)yields 0.2 in the
Algebra View and \(\frac{4}\{e³}\) in the 
CAS View. -
Poisson(3, 1, false)yields 0.15 in the Algebra View and \(\frac{3}\{e³}\) in the CAS View.
