Question:
If a Bernoulli trial is conducted n times, then which one of the following is not suitable to use Poisson distribution?
If a Bernoulli trial is conducted n times, then which one of the following is not suitable to use Poisson distribution?
Show Hint
Poisson distribution is used when the probability of success \( p \) is small and the number of trials \( n \) is large.
Updated On: May 15, 2025
- Each trial results in two mutually exclusive outcomes namely success, failure
- The number \( n \) of such trials is sufficiently large.
- The trials are independent of each other.
- The probability \( p \) of success in each trial is very large.

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The Poisson distribution is suitable for rare events with a small probability of success. If \( p \) is very large, the distribution is more appropriately modeled by the binomial distribution rather than the Poisson distribution.
