POISSON.DIST |
POISSON.DIST(x, mean, cumulative) |
Returns the probability distribution function OR the cumulative probability function for a poisson distribution. |
x | The number of events. |
mean | The expected numeric value. |
cumulative | A logical value indicating the type of function to use: False (or 0) = [[probability distribution function]] (equal to) True (<> 0) = [[cumulative probability function]] (equal to or less than) |
REMARKS |
* For an illustrated example refer to the page under [[Distributions]] * The poisson distribution is a [[discrete distribution]] * The poisson distribution is used when events occur at random. * If "cumulative" = False, then the height of the curve at "x" is returned. * If "cumulative" = True, then the area under the curve to the left of "x" is returned. * You can use the BINOM.DIST function * This function was added in Excel 2010 to replace the POISSON function. * For the Microsoft documentation refer to support.microsoft.com * For the Google documentation refer to support.google.com |
