Abstract: Abstract Poisson random variables are used to model the number of occurrences of certain events that come from a large number of independent sources, such as the number of calls to an office telephone during business hours, the number of atoms decaying in a sample of some radioactive substance, the number of visits to a website, or the number of customers entering a store.
