Poisson distribution, an Epic card
In probability theory and statistics, the Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time if these events occur with a known constant mean rate and independently of the time since the last event.

Poisson distribution quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Poisson distribution card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
It plays an ______ role for discrete-stable distributions.
Answer
important. It plays an important role for discrete-stable distributions. From the Poisson distribution article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Thermonuclear weapon. Thermonuclear weapon 87 · Poisson distribution 83 · Adsorption 78 · Clan Brodie 71 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Poisson distribution. Poisson distribution 690,000 · Adsorption 67,000 · Edward Thorndike 51,000 · Lead service line 12,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It can also be used for the number of events in other types of intervals than time, and in dimension greater than 1.
- The Poisson distribution is named after French mathematician Siméon Denis Poisson.
- It plays an important role for discrete-stable distributions.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Poisson distribution article was read about 690,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
How to get Poisson distribution
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
