how do you guys feel about the poisson distribution. it really

The joke is that poisson is fish in french.

fuck yeah it is

>>8254375
according to the image, poisson distribution is not even a function.

>>8255028
Why

>>8255082
2 x values for one y value

>>8255082
Definition of a function:

A relation so that for every x element of the domain of the relation there exists one and only one y element of the range of the relation such that (x,y) is an element of the relation.

That pretty much says it all. Think about why the equation for a circle is not a function either.

>>8255095
Because it's curvy wurvy?

>>8255097
No, a function can be as crazy looking as you want. A function doesn't even need to be a relation between numbers. There exists a function that maps my cock to your ass. It really does. Actually, infinitely many such functions exist.

It is just that if you look at the fish, more than 1 point exists in the graph for many of the points in the x axis.

Its all based on definition. Thats it. Mathematics is just that, tons of definitions we use and combine.

>>8255084
>2 y values for 1 x value
fixed that for you

>>8254380
no shit

>>8255028
According to this post, you are dumb.

>>8254386
real human breen

>>8255134
is he a real hero?

>>8255113
I don't think that you understand what cockboy is saying.

He's saying you could just simply be looking at a 2D range of a function of 1 parameter. Sorry you are just a blind rote definition memorizer tho LMAO!

GUYS THATS NOT THE GRAPH OF THE PROBABILITY MASS FUNCTION THATS A FISH

POISSON MEANS FISH

FUCK

>>8254380
thanks mr. obvious

>>8255383
It's the graph of the probability mass function of a fish.

Try to keep up.

>>8255383
no it doesn't stupid American
