What is the formula for the Poisson distribution probability?(a) P(x; μ) = (e^-μ) (μ^x) / x!(b) P(x; μ) = (e^-x) (μ^x) / x!(c) P(x; μ) = (e^-μ) (μ) / x!(d) P(x; μ) = (e^-μ) (μ^x) / xI got this question in an interview for job.This interesting question is from Bernoulli Trials and Binomial Distribution topic in division Probability of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer»

Right answer is (a) P(x; μ) = (e^-μ) (μ^x) / x!

The explanation: POISSON distribution shows the NUMBER of TIMES an event is likely to OCCUR within a specified time. The Poisson distribution probability formula is P(x; μ) = (e^-μ) (μ^x) / x!
