The Poisson Distribution

Cumulative Distribution Function (PDF)

The columns correspond to different values for the mean ($\mu$) of a Poisson variable. The entries in the body of the table represent the probabilities that such a random variable does not exceed the integer $x$ at the left of the row. For example, a Poisson variable of mean 0.8 is 2 or less with probability 0.953. $$ \begin{array}{r|c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c@{\quad}c}
