Definitions:

Poisson Random Variable

A type of discrete random variable that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space.

Poisson Probabilities

Probabilities calculated under the assumption of a Poisson distribution, typically used to model the number of times an event occurs in a fixed interval of time or space.

Calculate

To determine something mathematically, often by using a specific formula or procedure.

Poisson Distribution

A probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events happening in a fixed interval of time or space, assuming events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event.
