The derivation of the Poisson distribution that we did in class is due to Poisson. However, this distribution did not see much application until a text by Bortkiewicz in 1898. One famous example from that text is the use of the "Prussian horse-kick data" to illustrate how the Poisson distribution may help evaluate whether rare events are really occurring independently or randomly.

The swimming pool is open when the high temperature is higher than 20∘c. lainey tried to swim on monday and thursday (which was 33 days later). the pool was open on monday, but it was closed on thursday. the high temperature was 30 ∘c on monday, but decreased at a constant rate in the next 33 days. write an inequality to determine the rate of temperature decrease in degrees celsius per day, d, from monday to thursday.
