📊 Poisson Distribution
The Poisson distribution gives the probability of a given number of independent events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space, when those events happen at a known constant average rate. It models phenomena like radioactive decay counts, call-centre arrivals and typos per page — anywhere rare, independent events accumulate over a fixed window.
