Which probability distribution can be used to model

rare events?
a. Normal b. Binomial
c. Exponential d. Poisson
Normal Distribution - also known as the “Gaussian Distribution”, is a probability distribution that is
symmetric about the mean. In graphical form, the normal distribution appears as a "bell curve".

Binomial Distribution - is the discrete probability distribution that gives only two possible results in an
experiment, either Success or Failure.

Exponential Distribution - is a continuous probability distribution that often concerns the amount of time
until some specific event happens. It is a process in which events happen continuously and independently at
a constant average rate.

Poisson Distribution - is used to describe the distribution of rare events in a large population. For example,
at any particular time, there is a certain probability that a particular cell within a large population of cells
will acquire a mutation. Mutation acquisition is a rare event.

a. Mean b. Median c. Mode d. Range

There are 3 measures of location or central tendency which are median, mean and
mode. Mean is heavily influenced by outliers and the median not so much. Mode is the
most common item in the list so there should be no influence. For example:

mean = 16 median = 2 mode = 1
assume 100 is an outlier then

mean = 2 median = 1.5 mode = 1
