Round 8: Tossup 3

Mark Robinson showed gene expression data deviates from this distribution, which is accounted for using a different (10[1])distribution in the DESeq2 (“D-E-seek-two”) package. The deviation of photon (-5[1])occupation number from this distribution is caused by antibunching. This distribution is the distribution of survivors in the null hypothesis of the Luria–Delbruck experiment. This (10[1])distribution gives the molecular weight distribution produced by living polymerization. Both shot noise and the number of radioactive decay (-5[1])events (-5[1])from a (-5[1])slowly decaying (-5[1])source (10[1]-5[1])obey this (10[1])distribution, which is followed by the event (-5[1])count of independent events with a constant (10[1])mean rate. A single parameter lambda specifies both mean and variance in, for 10 points, what probability distribution named for a Frenchman? (10[1]) (10[5]0[1])■END■
