Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both the binomial and Poisson distributions are discrete probability distributions, meaning they can only take on a finite number of values. The binomial distribution models the probability of a certain number of successes in a fixed number of independent trials with a constant probability of success, while the Poisson distribution models the probability of a certain number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space, given the average rate of occurrence.
