First of all, don't know if this is the right forum (someone moved this from the physics forum). So perhaps I need to give some background. Both functions are related to radioactive decay. I've also written the first expression wrong, should be: P(k,μ)=μ^k⋅exp(-μ)/k! This is the probability...

Yeah, I've read it. Don't know if you get my question.What I'm wondering is, what is the reasoning (physics) or mathematical connection between these two formulas. I get the basic premise and reasoning for both formulas, but I don't get the relationship between the two. As I stated before if I...

You can model the probability for radioactive decay as a Poisson distribution. This is the probability for radioactive decay within a specific time interval. (I probably got some of it wrong here). P(k,μ)=λ^k⋅exp(-μ)/k! Is there a way to use this formula to derive the other formula for...
