This example demonstrates the graph of the Probability Mass Function (PMF) of a Poisson Distribution. It involves core math concepts like Poisson Distribution, Probability, and Variance. The construction uses the GeoGebra 'Sequence' command to plot the function. Suitable for high school and above students learning about Poisson Distribution in probability statistics.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Sequence(((l^(i) * ℯ^((-l)))) / i!, i, 0, 40, 1) → l1
  2. Sequence((i, 0), i, 0, 40) → l2
  3. Sequence((i, Element[l1, i + 1]), i, 0, Length[l1]) → l3
  4. Sequence(Segment[Element[l2, i], Element[l3, i]], i, 1, Length[l2]) → l4
