Explanation

The Poisson distribution is used to model the number of times an event happens in a fixed interval of time or space, assuming the events occur independently and at a constant average rate. Other distributions like Gamma, Binomial, and Negative Binomial describe different types of random processes and are not appropriate for counting occurrences in a fixed time frame.
