the product np! >0 (in nite trials, in nitesimal probability of success per trial, but a nite product of the two). An example: in a huge volume of dough (n!1), the probability of scooping out any particular raisin is vanishingly small (p!0), but there’s a constant raisin density (np! ). Reproducing property: if X 1;:::;X n are Poisson RVs ... ................
