u u u u u Poisson probability
Poisson probability calculates a probability at specified value for the discrete Poisson
distribution with the specified mean.
Perform the following key operations from the statistical data list.
The following shows the meaning of each item when data is specified using list
specification.
The following shows the meaning of a parameter data specification item that is
different from list data specification.

To calculate Poisson probability for one list of data
For this example, we will calculate Poisson probability for data
= {2, 3, 4} when µ = 6.
