Exercise
For a certain experiment, the Poisson distribution with parameter [math]\lambda = m[/math] has been assigned. Show that a most probable outcome for the experiment is the integer value [math]k[/math] such that [math]m - 1 \leq k \leq m[/math]. Under what conditions will there be two most probable values? Hint: Consider the ratio of successive probabilities.
