The Binomial and Poisson Distributions Both the Binomial and Poisson Distributions deal with discrete data where we are counting the number of occurrences of an event. However, they are very different distributions. This problem will help you be able to recognize a random variable that belongs to the Binomial Distribution, the Poisson Distribution or neither. Characteristics of a Binomial Distribution Characteristics of a Poisson Distribution The Binomial random variable is the count of the number of success in n trials: number of...
