Round 5: Tossup 3

Mark Robinson showed gene expression data deviates from this distribution, which is accounted for using a different distribution in the DESeq2 (“D-E-seek-two”) package. The deviation of photon occupation number from this distribution is caused (-5[1])by antibunching. (10[1])This distribution is the distribution of survivors in the null hypothesis of the Luria–Delbruck experiment. (-5[1])This distribution gives the molecular weight distribution produced by living polymerization. Both shot noise and the number (10[1])of radioactive (10[1])decay events from a slowly decaying source (10[1])obey this distribution, (10[1])which is followed (-5[1])by the event count of independent events with a constant mean rate. (10[1])A single parameter lambda specifies both mean (10[1])and variance in, for 10 points, what probability distribution named for a Frenchman? (10[4])■END■
