To apply a Poisson probability distribution, the mean can be computed as __________. A)nπ C)e^-x

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mean of a Poisson distribution can be found by multiplying the rate (λ) by the time period (t) over which events occur. In the case of Poisson, λ represents the expected number of events in a given time period. Therefore, the mean of a Poisson distribution is nπ, where n is the number of time periods and π is the rate of events per time period.
