  • Statistics 101: Poisson Practice Problems
    In this video, we walk through two practice problems involving the Poisson Distribution. The first problem examines customer arrivals to a bank ATM and the second analyzes deer-strike probabilities along sections of a rural highway. I do assume you have a basic understanding of the Poisson Distribution. If not please check out my previous videos. Keep working hard, keep learning, and have FUN! Enjoy!

    Thanks a lot for the posting. You are a real teacher and inspirational to me. Your opening, teaching, and closing remarks did something to me that I can not explain. All I can say is God Bless you and your family in every area of your life.

    You produce great videos and they are helping me alot with my classes. In this video, I noticed you say that e = 2.17128 and I believe its a typo because e = 2.71828

    Hi Brandon! Regarding the deer accidents, how does probability even help in putting signboards, as the 2 mile region with maximum number of deer carcasses can be marked directly without calculating the probabilities. I believe even after calculating probabilities one would get identical results.

      Been going through these videos to hand over to my greenbelts, albeit a bit late to reply here's what I think you're looking for:
      ((1.6^3 * 2.71828^-1.6) / 3!) + ((1.6^2 * 2.71828^-1.6) / 2!) + ((1.6^1 * 2.71828^-1.6) / 1!) + ((1.6^0 * 2.71828^-1.6) / 0!)

    I do not quite get why the floor number to our lambda (mean , expected value) has always bigger probability - in the first case we have 1.6 mean with P(X=1)> P(X= 2) and on the second we have mean 3.9 but again we have P(X=3) > P(X=4)

    A certain kind of sheet metal has, on average, 8 defects per 14 square feet.
    Assuming a Poisson distribution, find the probability that a 17 square foot metal sheet has at least 14 defects. Round your answer to four decimals.
    this is not working with anything
