The actual results consisted of 169 city-years with 0 homicides; 86 city-years with one homicide; 21 city-years with two homicides; 4 city-years with three homicides; 0 city-years with four homicides. Compare the actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities. Does the Poisson distribution serve as a good tool for predicting the actual results? No, the results from the Poisson distribution probabilities do not match the actual results. Yes, the results from the Poisson distribution probabilities closely match the actual results.
