dpois function

This function finds the probability that a certain number of successes occur based on an average rate of success, In other words, we can say as this function returns the value of the Poisson probability density function

Syntax: dpois(x, lambda)

Parameters:

  • x: number of successes
  • lambda: average rate of success

Example:

In this example, we are finding the probability using the dpois function to get exactly 12 sales if the person makes 30 sales each hour in the R.

R




dpois(x=12, lambda=30)


Output:

[1] 0.0001038206
