POISSON STATISTICS<br />

For Poisson distributions the following logic applies.<br />

P<br />

n<br />

is the probability of getting count “n”<br />

n -<br />

P<br />

n<br />

= e / n!<br />

n = the hypothetical count<br />

= true mean counts<br />

If the true mean, , is 3, then there is a 5% probability that we will<br />

get a zero count and a 95% probability that we will get greater than<br />

zero counts. There is a 65% probability that we will get 3 or more<br />

counts.<br />
