In Lecture 39, we continued trying to understand the relationship between the Poisson random process and the binomial counting process. First we re-emphasized how the pmf of a Poisson random variable approximates the pmf of a binomial random variable by looking at a chess example (number of matches lost by Kasparov playing against n players.) We then went over the "true" definition of a Poisson process, where the process is described as a counting process with 3 properties (time homogeneity, independence, and small interval probability). We spent a lot of time explaining the third property.
Action items for students (to be completed before next lecture)
- Read Section 9.4 in the textbook.
- Solve problems 9.34, 9.35, 9.36 in the textbook. (You will hand in your solution as part of homework 7.)
