Answer to Question 1

The Poisson computes probabilities for occurrences of events over some interval.
The Poisson distribution is affected only by the mean , whereas the binomial is affected by sample size n and probability p.
The Poisson distribution has discrete values from 1, 2, 3, . . . with no upper limit. A binomial distribution has discrete values from 1, 2, 3, to n; that is, the upper limit of values is n.

Answer to Question 2

1 ) The random variable x is the number of occurrences of
an event over some interval.
2 ) The occurrences are random.
3 ) The occurrences must be independent of each other.
4 ) The occurrences must be uniformly distributed over the
interval being used.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
