Scale an event-count model to its observation window

Enter separate formulas in E2:E6. B2 is the assumed mean event count per base interval and B3 is the selected window divided by that base interval. E2 is their product. Under the stated constant-rate independent-event Poisson model, E3 is P(X=B4), E4 is P(X<=B4), E5 is P(B5<=X<=B6), and E6 is P(X>=B7). Keep the upper tail nonzero when it is very small; all probabilities are unrounded proportions.

The answer cells begin blank. Enter a reusable formula and check it against the published practice datasets. Hints and the solution are available when you choose them.

A checkpoint records a fresh check of every dataset. This attempt tracks built-in hints, solutions, steps and worked examples; it does not establish independent authorship.
