Hi,
Can someone please help clear something up. If X~Poi(5) distn where X is the number of goals scored in a football match, are we saying the Poisson event is a single goal or the match itself (I'll assume the former for my next question)? Also since the time between Poisson events is exponentially distributed, are we saying that the time between each goal diminishes as the match goes on?
Thanks,
Stewart.
