1. The Poisson distribution describes the probability of a number of events occurring in a fixed period of time if these events happen with a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event. 2. The Poisson distribution is defined by one parameter, usually denoted by λ, which represents the expected number of events in the given interval of time or space. 3. The probability of observing x events is given by P(X=x) = (e-λ λx)/x!, where e is the base of the natural logarithms.

2. Binomial Distribution:
Is the probability of a particular outcome in a series when the outcome has two distinct possibilities,
success or failure. A discrete random variable x is said to have binomial distribution if its probability
function is defined by,
n is the number of trials.
x is the number of observed successes.
p is the probability of success in a single trial.
q = 1-p probability of getting failure in a single trail.
Mean: The mean of Binomial distribution, µ = np.
Variance: The variance of Binomial distribution, σ² = npq.

3. Problem:
In a large restaurant an average of 3 out of every 5 customer ask for water with their meal.
A random sample of 10 customers is selected.
Find the probability that,
1. Exactly 6 people ask for water with their meal?
2. At least 2 people ask for water with their meal?
Solution-1
Here P = 3/5 = 0.6 and q = 2/5 = 0.4 and x = 6 , n = 10 so using binomial

6. What is Bernoulli Distribution?
• A Bernoulli distribution is the probability distribution for a series of
Bernoulli trials where there are only two possible outcomes . In this
case, only two values are possible (n = 0 for failure or n = 1 for
success). That makes the Bernoulli distribution the simplest kind of
probability distribution that exists.
• Consider that only two outcomes: “success” or “failure”
• Let P denote the probability of success
• Let 1 – P be the probability of failure
• Define random variable X:
• x = 1 if success, x = 0 if failure
• Then the Bernoulli probability function is P(1)=P and P(0)=(1-P)

7. Bernoulli Example
• Imagine that you put 5 blue balls and 1 red ball in a bag and
then randomly drew one out. This is also a Bernoulli trial
because there are only two possible outcomes: either the ball is
blue or it is red.
• If success is defined as drawing a red ball, then the probability
of success (P) would be 1/6, or 0.17. The probability of failure
(drawing a blue ball) would be 5/6, or 0.83. The probability of
failure is always 1 - P for any Bernoulli

8. Bernoulli Example
• Suppose our class passed (C or better) the last exam with probability
0.75. Let the random variable X be the probability that someone
passes the exam.
• Solution : X 0 1
p(x) .25 .75
• • E(X)=p=0.75
• • Var(X)= p(1-p) =.75(.25) =0.1875

10. Definition Of Hypergeometric Probability
Hypergeometric distribution is the probability distribution of a hypergeometric random variable.
Hypergeometric distribution can be defined as discrete probability distribution describing the
probability of getting k successes in n draws without replacement where the sample population is
N. Each draw is either success or failure and the population consists of exactly K successes. In
statistics, the hypergeometric test uses the hypergeometric distribution to see the effect of k
successes statistically.
Properties of a hypergeometric experiment are:
1) A sample size of n is collected without replacement from a population of N.
2) If k items in the population N is defined as success, then (N−k) items will be defined as failures.

11. Hypergeometric Distribution Formula
Suppose a population consists of N items, k of which are successes. And a random sample drawn from that population
consists of n items, x of which are successes. Then the hypergeometric probability is:
𝑷 𝑿 = 𝑲 =
𝑲
𝒌
𝑵 − 𝑲
𝒏 − 𝒌
𝑵
𝒏
Where:
K is the number of successes
k is the number of observed successes
N is the Number of item (Populations, Cards etc)
n is the number of items/Drawn in the sample (Set of Observations)
Mean:
𝒏∗𝒌
𝑵
Variance:
𝒏∗𝒌(𝑵−𝒌)(𝑵−𝒏)
𝑵 𝟐(𝑵−𝟏)

12. Problem 01: A deck of cards contains 20 cards. 6 red cards and 14 black
cards. 5 cards are drawn randomly without replacement. What is the
probability that exactly 4 red cards are drawn?
Solutions:
𝑷 𝑿 = 𝑲 =
𝟔
𝟒
𝟏𝟒
𝟏
𝟐𝟎
𝟓
= (15*14) / 15504
= 0.0135
= {(6C4)*(14C1)} / (20C5)
In Shorthand we can write this formula as-
Mean =
(𝟓∗𝟒)
𝟐𝟎
= 1
Variance =
𝟓∗𝟒(𝟐𝟎−𝟒)(𝟐𝟎−𝟓)
𝟐𝟎 𝟐(𝟐𝟎−𝟏)
=0.6315

13. Problem 02: A small voting district has 101 female voters and 95
male voters. A random sample of 10 voters is drawn. What is the
probability exactly 7 of the voters will be female?
Solution:
𝑷 𝑿 = 𝑲 =
𝟏𝟎𝟏
𝟕
𝟗𝟓
𝟑
𝟏𝟗𝟔
𝟏𝟎
In shorthand we can this formula as-
= 𝟏𝟎𝟏𝐂𝟕 ∗ 𝟗𝟓𝐂𝟑 /(𝟏𝟗𝟔𝐂𝟏𝟎)
= 0.130
That’s because if 7/10 voters are female, then 3/10 voters
must be male.
Mean =
𝟏𝟎∗𝟕
𝟏𝟗𝟔
= 0.3571
Variance =
𝟏𝟎∗𝟕(𝟏𝟗𝟔−𝟕)(𝟏𝟗𝟔−𝟏𝟎)
𝟏𝟗𝟔 𝟐(𝟏𝟗𝟔−𝟏)
= 0.3284

16. The Poisson distribution

17. The Poisson distribution
▰ It was introduced by
Poisson(1781–1840) and
published, together with his
probability theory, in 1837 in his
work “Research on the
Probability of Judgments in
Criminal and Civil Matters”.
▰ The Poisson
Distribution was
developed by
the French
mathematician
Simeon Denis
Poisson in 1837. Siméon Denis
Poisson
(1781–1840)

18. What is Poisson distribution?
▰ • The Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution for
the counts of events that occur randomly in a given interval of
time (or space).
▰ Examples:
• The number of causes of a diseases in different towns
• The number of mutations in set sized regions of a
chromosome

19. Equation
▰ The probability of observing x events in a given interval is given
by,
e is a mathematical constant. e≈2.718282
19

20. Examples:
▰ 1. Births in a hospital occur randomly at an average rate of 1.8 births per
hour. What is the probability of observing 4 births in a given hour at the
hospital?
▰ 2. If the random variable X follows a Poisson distribution with mean 3.4 find
P(X=6)?
▰ 3. Number of telephone calls in a week.
▰ 4. Number of people arriving at a checkout in a day.
▰ 5. Number of industrial accidents per month in a manufacturing plant.
20

21. Problem number 1:-
Consider, in an office 2 customers arrived today. Calculate the possibilities
for exactly 3 customers to be arrived on tomorrow.
▰ Solution:-
Find f(x).
P(X=x) = e-λ λ x / x!
P(X=3) = (0.135)(8) / 3! = 0.18.
Hence there are 18% possibilities for 3 customers to be arrived on
tomorrow
21

22. Problem number 2:-
Births in a hospital occur randomly at an average rate of 1.8 births per hour.
▰ What is the probability of observing 4 births in a given hour at the
hospital?
▰ What about the probability of observing more than or equal to 2 births in
a given hour at the hospital?
Solution:
Let X = No. of births in a given hour
i)
22

23. ii) More than or equal to 2 births in a given hour
23

24. Graph :
Let’s continue to assume we have a continuous variable x and graph the Poisson Distribution,
it will be a continuous curve, as follows:
24
Fig: Poison distribution graph.

25. Applications of Poisson distribution
▰ A practical application of this Distribution was made by
Ladislaus Bortkiewicz in1898 when he was given the task of
investigating the number of soldiers in the Russian army
killed accidentally by horse kicks this experiment introduced
the Poisson distribution to the field of reliability engineering.

▰ Birth defects and genetic mutations
▰ Rare diseases

27. ▰ Traffic flow and ideal gap distance.
▰ Number of typing errors on a page.
▰ Hairs found in McDonald's hamburgers.
