question 40

Multiple Choice

Two characteristics,or assumptions,of the Poisson distribution are:

• A)The probability of success remains constant from trial to trial,and the random variable of interest is continuous.
• B)The event occurring in one interval is independent of the event occurring in any other non-overlapping interval,and the random variable of interest is continuous.
• C)The event occurring in one interval is independent of the event occurring in any other non-overlapping interval,and the random variable of interest is discrete.
• D)The event occurring in one interval is dependent on the event occurring in any other non-overlapping interval,and the random variable of interest is continuous.
