What is Meant by Possion Probability ?

A possion probability refers to the probability of acquiring EXACTLY n successes in a poisson experiment where n would be a poisson random variable.

For example, if the receptionist receieved one phone call in an hour. What is the likelihood next hour that she will receive EXACTLY 3 phone calls? The answer of possion probability is getting exactly 3 phone calls in the next hour is 0.061.

Poisson Probability Distribution Formula Or Poisson Distribution Formula Or Poisson Probability Formula

In poisson probability, the mean of the distribution is denoted as λ and e is constant where 2.71828 is the approx value. Thus the formula of poisson probability is

P(x, λ ) =(e^– λ * λ^x)/x!

The mean formula in poisson probability distribution is E(X) = λ. You can also use poisson distribution formula calculator.

Step by Step Procedure to Find out the Poission Probability Distribution

Process of calculating the poisson probability is explained here in a step-wise manner so that everyone can easily grasp the concept and calculate the poisson probability problems with ease.

  • Firstly, identify or find the mean and no.of exact occurences from the given problem.
  • Once, you get the two values available then apply the formula of poisson probability i.e., P(X = x) = (e λx )/x!
  • Substitute the values in the above formula and simplify the equation to get the desired output.

Example:

Doctors check the patients at the rate of 3 per hour. What is the probability of two patients arrivals during the next 30 minutes?

Solution:

Given

mean (λ) = The arrival rate during 30 minutes = (3/60)*30 = 1.5.

random varaible (n) = 2

The formula of poisson probability is P(x, λ ) =(e^-λ * λ^x)/x!

P(2, 1.5) = e^-1.5 1.5^2 / 2! = 0.251

Therefore, the probability of exactly 2 patients arrivals in the next 30 minutes is 25.1 percent.
