Answer:

The Poisson Distribution was developed by the French mathematician Simeon Denis Poisson in 1837.

The Poisson random variable satisfies the following conditions:

The number of successes in two disjoint time intervals is independent.

The probability of a success during a small time interval is proportional to the entire length of the time interval.

Apart from disjoint time intervals, the Poisson random variable also applies to disjoint regions of space.

Applications

the number of deaths by horse kicking in the Prussian army (first application)

birth defects and genetic mutations

rare diseases (like Leukemia, but not AIDS because it is infectious and so not independent) - especially in legal cases

car accidents

traffic flow and ideal gap distance

number of typing errors on a page

hairs found in McDonald's hamburgers

spread of an endangered animal in Africa

failure of a machine in one month
