Question

State normal approximation to Poisson distribution.

Answer 1

Normal Approximation to Poisson Distribution. The Poisson(λ) Distribution can beapproximated with Normal when λ is large. For sufficiently large values of λ, (say λ>1,000), the Normal(μ = λ,σ2 = λ) Distribution is an excellent approximation to thePoisson(λ) Distribution .
