Thremp,

The Poisson distribution can be derived as a limiting case of the binomial distribution.

Engrish. I scammed my way out of my stats classes for my finance/econ degree and faked the rest.

I suggested Poisson since there are dozens of free calcs on the net. And also it seems to make sense.

Note: Work on stats stuff soon.

The Poisson distribution becomes a good approximation of the binomial distribution as your sample size increases.
