Binomial distribution conditions for use

Trials are independent


Fixed value of n

Poisson distribution (∆ = lambda)

P(X=r) = (e^-∆ × ∆^r) ÷ r!


Where ∆ is the mean

Poisson distribution conditions for use

The occurrences are random and independent


There is a known, constant overall mean rate for the occurrences

Poisson approximation to binomial distribution conditions for use

n is large (>50)


P is small (<0.1)


nP is not so large that it is easier to calculate the binomial probability (<11)

Distribution of 2 independent random variables

If X~Po(m) and Y~Po(n)


Then X+Y~Po(m+n)

Mean (£ = sigma)

£fx ÷ n

Variance (£ = sigma, # = mean)

n ÷ (n - 1) × (((£fx^2) ÷ n) - #^2)

Normal distribution table conversion (& = mu, £ = standard deviation)

If X~N(&, £^2)


Z = (X-&) ÷ £
