This program is by Andrew Feist and is used here by permission.
This program is supplied without representation or warranty of any kind. Andrew Feist and The Museum of HP Calculators therefore assume no responsibility and shall have no liability, consequential or otherwise, of any kind arising from the use of this program material or any part thereof.
Usage:
Type mu [enter] n [A] to calculate the probability of n successes in a Poisson experiment with parameter mu.
Type mu [enter] n [E] to calculate the probability of n or fewer successes in a Poisson experiment with parameter mu.
Memory:
The program A uses two registers (1-2 in the given listing), and the program E uses four (0-2 in the given listing, plus the I register). The other stack positions are maintained.
Notes:
Program E does not correctly handle n=0 (it will return the result for n=1); however, since no adding is necessary, program A can be used instead. Also, program E does not use program A, so either one can be used independently of the other.
