Available identifiers

Plot of the probability mass function for the Poisson distribution.

Assuming that these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event.

Defining Formula: $P (k; λ) \equiv \frac{λ^{k} e^{- λ}}{k!}$
$λ$ symbol represents expectation
$e$ symbol represents Euler's Number
$k$ symbol represents number of occurrences
$P$ symbol represents Poisson distribution
