 Statistics and Excel. Poisson Distribution. Potholes in Road Example. Get ready, taking a deep breath, holding it in for 10 seconds, looking forward to a smooth, soothing Excel. Here we are in Excel. If you don't have access to this workbook, that's okay because we'll basically build this from a blank worksheet. If you do have access, three tabs down below.

So we can practice formatting the cells within Excel as we work through the practice problem. Let's go to the example tab to get an idea of where we will be going, looking at the Poisson Distribution. Once again, oftentimes examples related to line rating situations, as we saw in a prior presentation.
