| Poisson distribution |
A one-parameter, discrete frequency distribution giving the probability that n points (or events) will be (or occur) in an interval (or time) x, provided that these points are individually independent and that the number occurring in a subinterval does not influence the number occurring in any other nonoverlapping subinterval. It has the form P(n, x) = e - x ( x) n /n!. The mean and variance are both x, and is the average density (or rate) with which the events occur. ...

| Poisson distribution |
A poisson distribution is a distribution of random occurrences in which one occurrence has no influence on any other occurrence. The variance of a poisson distribution is equal to its mean and therefore the standard deviation is equal to the square root of the mean of the distribution. Radioactive decay measurements follow a poisson distribution and therefore have a lower measurement error when more counts are accumulated.
