[Tex/LaTex] itemize equations

equationsitemize

I would like to itemize some equations but they don't appear on the same line as the bullets.

Here is a code example.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item\begin{equation*}
         Pr( Y= n)  = \frac{e^{-7}\times 7^n}{n!}
\end{equation*}

\item\begin{equation*}              
         Pr(X = m)  = \frac{e^{-4}\times 4^m}{m!}
\end{equation*}
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

How can I solve this?

Use inline equations, you can make them bigger by using \displaystyle. You can also achieve the same for fractions by using \dfrac from the amsmath package (thanks @cmhughes for the suggestion).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
    \item $ Pr( Y= n)  = \frac{e^{-7}\times 7^n}{n!} $
    \item $ Pr(X = m)  = \frac{e^{-4}\times 4^m}{m!} $
    \item $ \displaystyle Pr( Y= n)  = \frac{e^{-7}\times 7^n}{n!} $
    \item $ \displaystyle Pr(X = m)  = \frac{e^{-4}\times 4^m}{m!} $
    \item $ Pr( Y= n)  = \dfrac{e^{-7}\times 7^n}{n!} $
    \item $ Pr(X = m)  = \dfrac{e^{-4}\times 4^m}{m!} $
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
