Probability Distributions: binomial, poisson and normal distributions

Probability distributions: binomial, poisson and normal distributions  – Normal distribution describes continuous data which have a symmetric distribution, with a characteristic ‘bell’ shape.

Binomial distribution describes the distribution of binary data from a finite sample. Thus it gives the probability of getting r events out of n trials.

Poisson distributiondescribes the distribution of…

When you flip a coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads and tails. Each outcome has a fixed probability, the same from trial to trial. In the case of coins, heads and tails each have…
