The Poisson Distribution: Adding Two Poisson Distributions
In this resource, students consider whether two Poisson distributions can be added together to form a third Poisson distribution. The initial, discussion generating proposition is backed up by a proof. The resource also contains an accompanying spreadsheet on which students can run simulations to test the result.
This resource is part of the Making Stats Vital collection from Jonny Griffiths.
