A brief introduction to the Poisson distribution. I discuss the conditions required for the Poisson distribution to hold, discuss the formula, and look at a simple example. I end off with a brief discussion of the relationship between the binomial distribution and the Poisson distribution.

Those wanting a slightly slower and more refined introduction can watch my updated version of this video at:    • An Introduction to the Poisson Distribution  .

I discuss the when a random variable has a binomial distribution in a little more detail in my "Poisson or not" video, available at:    • Video
