RandomPoisson[ <Mean> ]
Generates a random number from a Poisson distribution with given mean.
Example:
RandomPoisson[3, 0.1] yields a random value from a Poisson distribution with a mean of 3.

CAS Syntax

RandomPoisson[ <Mean> ]
Generates a random number from a Poisson distribution with given mean.
Example:
RandomPoisson[3, 0.1] yields a random value from a Poisson distribution with a mean of 3.
