This is an interactive applet requiring Mathematica or the Wolfram CDF player.
This is a brief Wikipedia article on the multinomial distribution. The basic facts are presented with minimal derivations and exposition.
The video completes the derivation of the Poisson distribution that was begun in the Poisson Process 1video.
An experiment can be run to illustrate a Poisson process. The rate of the process and the length of time can be varied by the user. The arrivals are shown as red dots on a timeline as they occur.
The applet represents the number of sharks observed in one square mile in an hour. The user presses the button to "fish" . The distribution is plotted as the user catches fish.
This is an entire module on the Poisson distribution. It gives a description of the distribution, brief history, several examples, and a multiple choice test.
This page explains the story of the V2 bombs over London in WWII and how the Poisson distribution is used to tell if the rockets were able to aim at a target or not.
