1. The nth factorial moment of the Poisson distribution is λn.

2. If and in such a way that , then the Binomial distribution converges to the Poisson distribution with mean

3. Dbinom for the binomial (Bernoulli is a special case of the binomial), and dpois for the Poisson distribution

4. The times elapsed between Branchings in different neurites of single cells can be described by a Poisson distribution with a mean interval of approximately 2 h
