    Highlighting the different interpretations of lambda for Poisson and exponential distributions has saved me a lot of headache. Cheers!

    Excellent explanation and great art of moving two pages over the main page to make the exact explanation 👍
    Most important factor is the clear difference between the lambda values in the two distributions. Most needed explanation. Thanks for your Excellent explanation 👍

    so is the primary defining quality of a Poisson Process that the Time between events is Exponentially distributed?

    What is the resolution of this exercise:
    Consider a queuing model with two attendants and a waiting position operating under steady-state conditions. Suppose that if a customer arrives and finds both agents busy and the waiting position unoccupied, then the customer will wait as long as necessary for service. If the customer finds both attendants busy and the waiting position also occupied, he leaves immediately.
    Customers access the system according to a Poisson process with a rate of 2 customers per hour and that service follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 1 hour. The proportion of customers who arrive at the system and will not be served is:
    a)2/5 b)1/8 c)2/3 d)2/7 e)1/6

    First binomial distribution, then the pascal distribution (negative BD), now this. I've learned a lot of math today

  • @hoseinmasoomy2399
    @hoseinmasoomy2399 Před rokem

    A question: In the exponentional distribution showing the distribution of time between events, by increasing \lambda the variance of exponential distribution decreases, while we expect the variance increases, since for large value of \lambda the Poisson distribution become more scattered. right?

    • @iain_explains
      @iain_explains  Před rokem

      I think you may have missed the point I made about the fact that lambda represents a different thing in the two equations (ie. for each Random variable). At the 3:30 min mark I explain what lambda is for the Poisson distribution, and a the 6:30 min mark I explain it for the exponential distribution. They are different things. Really, it would be better if a different symbol was used in one of the cases (eg. a different Greek letter), but that's not what happened over time when these distributions were being formulated and conventions were setting in.

    I took a EE class that was in my opinion a total waste of time, a stats class called Random Signals Analysis that talks all about these random processes and other things. However as I get into my senior year of EE, I realize how important that class was, I feel bad for writing a class survey that said that class was ridiculous and a waste for us lol.
