text: Suppose that astronomers estimate that large meteorites (above a certain size) hit the earth on average once every 100 years (λ = 1 event per 100 years), and that the number of meteorite hits follows a Poisson distribution.
text: the number of arrivals in the time interval  follows the Poisson distribution with mean , then the sequence of inter-arrival times are independent and identically distributed exponential random variables having mean 1/ .
text: For example, the number of telephone calls to a busy switchboard in one hour follows a Poisson distribution with the events appearing frequent to the operator, but they are rare from the point of view of the average member of the population who is very unlikely to make a call to that switchboard in that hour.
