Binomial Distribution Graphing

[john gustaf stebbins]

The Statistics 1Var app has good graphing modes that might work. You can use MAKELIST and BINOMIAL to create the distribution. For example, 5 choices with 0.4 probability can be generated by:

MAKELIST(BINOMIAL(5,0.4,X),X,0,5)

Store this list into one of the app variables (D1 to D0) and then go into the Symb and Plot screens to generate your graph. A bar plot looks pretty good (I couldn't get the image to post here).

There are lots of ways to approach this on the Prime, but this is simple.
