PoissonApproximationOfTheBinomialDistribution Class

Within this class we consider the Poisson probability distribution and its use as an approximation to the Binomial Distribution.

For a list of all members of this type, see PoissonApproximationOfTheBinomialDistribution Members.

Remarks

The Poisson Probability Distribution can be used as an approximation of the Binomial probability distribution when probabilityOfSuccess, the probability of success, is small and numberOfTrials, the number of trials is large.

As a rule of thumb, the Poisson approximation will work as a good approximation to the Binomial distribution when probabilityOfSuccess < .05 and numberOfTrials > 20.
