Poisson limit theorem
In probability theory, the law of rare events or Poisson limit theorem states that the Poisson distribution may be used as an approximation to the binomial distribution, under certain conditions. The theorem was named after Siméon Denis Poisson (1781–1840). A generalization of this theorem is Le Cam's theorem.

Comparison of the Poisson distribution (black lines) and the binomial distribution with n = 10 (red circles), n = 20 (blue circles), n = 1000 (green circles). All distributions have a mean of 5. The horizontal axis shows the number of events k . As n gets larger, the Poisson distribution becomes an increasingly better approximation for the binomial distributi
