    The document discusses binomial and Poisson probability distributions. The binomial distribution describes the probability of success in a fixed number of trials when the probability of success is the same for each trial. The Poisson distribution is a limiting case of the binomial when the number of trials is very large and the probability of success for each trial is very small, but their product is a constant value. The key properties provided are the formulas for the mean and variance of each distribution. Examples are provided to illustrate calculating probabilities using the binomial and Poisson distributions.

    Poisson Distribution
    Poisson distribution is a limiting case of the binomial distribution under the following
    conditions:
    (I) n, the number of trials is indefinitely large, i.e n   .
    (ii) p, the constant probability of success for each trial is indefinitely small,
    i.e., p  0
    (iii) np  

    e   x
    P  X  x  , X  0,1, 2,3...

    Mean of the Poisson Distribution is 

    Variance of the Poisson Distribution is 
