# Introduction In this lab, you will learn how to compute Poisson probabilities in C. The Poisson distribution is a probability distribution that expresses the likelihood of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space. You will first learn how to read the lambda (Îŧ) parameter and k value, and then implement the Poisson probability formula to calculate the probability of exactly k events occurring in a given interval. The lab covers the step-by-step process of writing a C program to compute Poisson probabilities, including handling user input, implementing the Poisson probability formula, and printing the calculated probability.
