Poisson[ <Mean λ> ]: Returns a bar graph of a Poisson distribution with given mean λ.
Poisson[ <Mean λ>, <Boolean Cumulative> ]: Returns a bar graph of a Poisson distribution when Cumulative = false.; Returns a bar graph of a cumulative Poisson distribution when Cumulative = true.; The first parameter is same as above.
Poisson[ <Mean λ>, <Variable Value v>, <Boolean Cumulative> ]: Let X be a Poisson random variable.; Returns P( X = v) when Cumulative = false.; Returns P( X ≤ v) when Cumulative = true.; First parameter is same as above.

Poisson[ <Mean λ>, <Variable Value v>, <Boolean Cumulative> ]: Let X be a Poisson random variable.; Returns P( X = v) when Cumulative = false.; Returns P( X ≤ v) when Cumulative = true.; First parameter is same as above.

Examples:

Poisson[3, 1, true] yields \frac{4}{e³}.

Poisson[3, 1, false] yields \frac{3}{e³}.
