Poisson Distribution Calculator
Poisson Distribution: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers rate lambda (events per interval). Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Poisson Distribution Calculator is a planned calculator in the mathematics section of Super Calculator, covering statistics and probability.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: rate lambda (events per interval), observed events k, interval scaling and comparison type.
Outputs: exact probability, cumulative probability, mean, variance and distribution table.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: P(X = k) = lambda^k e^(-lambda) / k!, with mean and variance both equal to lambda. The Poisson approximates the binomial when n is large and p small, with lambda = np.
