Poisson Calculator

How it works: The calculator above takes the place of the traditional textbook table. Students should enter the proper Poisson parameter (lambda) for the distribution they are interested in calculating probabilities for. Students specify the relevant "x" value and then select among choices such as "exactly", "no more than", etc. Hit "Compute!" to get the answer.

Parameters:

<param name=graph value="false"> - If this value is "true", a graph of the Poisson density will be added to the applet. In this case, the reccomended size for the applet is width=375 and height=300.
