poisson distribution and the cdf $Y (t)$ is the number of events occurring in $[0,1]$ where for each $t> 0$, $Y (t)~\sim\operatorname{Poi} (\lambda t)$ and $X$ measures the time taken for the $r$th event to occur.
Am I right in saying that the event $(X \le t) = (Y(t) \ge t)$?
Also, how can I write the cdf of $X$ as the sum of poisson probabilities using the above?

The $r$th event occurs before time $t$ if and only if the number of events before time $t$ is at least $r$.
So $[X<t] = [Y(t)\ge r]$.
