  • Q7
    What is the main difference between a binomial distribution and a Poisson distribution?
    A binomial distribution can only take continuous values, whereas a Poisson distribution is always discrete.
    A binomial distribution requires events to happen continuously over time, while a Poisson does not.
    A binomial distribution always describes rare events, while a Poisson distribution is only for common events.
    A binomial distribution has a fixed number of trials, while a Poisson distribution counts events in a fixed interval with no upper limit on number.
