1
New cards

Poisson distribution

NUMBER of events

2
New cards

Exponential distribution

TIME or DISTANCE Between

3
New cards

Poisson random variable

Discrete

4
New cards

Exponential random variable

Continuous

5
New cards

Poisson units

we MUST make the parameter match the interval given

6
New cards

Exponential units

EITHER convert units for the given parameter to match the units in the question asked, OR we can convert the units of the question to match the units of the given parameter

7
New cards

Poisson process

where events occur randomly within a specified interval

8
New cards

intervals can be

  • time

  • area

  • volume

  • length

  • etc.

Poisson process criteria

  1. Two events cannot occur at the same point (in time or space).

  2. The average rate, which equals the number of events per interval, is constant.

  3. Events are independent of each other.
