First of all, don't know if this is the right forum (someone moved this from the physics forum). So perhaps I need to give some background. Both functions are related to radioactive decay.
I've also written the first expression wrong, should be:
P(k,μ)=μ^k⋅exp(-μ)/k!
This is the probability...
Yeah, I've read it. Don't know if you get my question.What I'm wondering is, what is the reasoning (physics) or mathematical connection between these two formulas. I get the basic premise and reasoning for both formulas, but I don't get the relationship between the two. As I stated before if I...
You can model the probability for radioactive decay as a Poisson distribution. This is the probability for radioactive decay within a specific time interval. (I probably got some of it wrong here).
P(k,μ)=λ^k⋅exp(-μ)/k!
Is there a way to use this formula to derive the other formula for...
