Applications |
P is the probability, that event E occurs exactly x times in a population
of n events. A binomial distribution is encountered when drawing proportions
of a Bernoulli process. |
Mean |
E(X) = np |
Variance |
VAR(X) = np(1-p) |
Simulation |
The program Discrete Distributions calculates the probability density functions of the binomial, the hypergeometric, and Poisson distribution. After specifying the appropriate parameters both the probability density and the cumulative distribution is calculated and displayed.
