The Binomial Distribution

This applet computes quantities related to the Binomial Distribution.

How to use the applet

  1. In the upper-left table, enter the parameters of the Binomial Distribution, eqn and eqn, and a constant, c. The value of eqn must be between 0 and 1 (inclusive); eqn and c must be nonnegative integers less than or equal to 500 and 1000, respectively. Note, these cells act like a spreadsheet application; to change an entry, click on it, delete the current value, type a new one, and then press enter.
  2. A probability histogram is plotted below the table of parameters. You may choose to shade different regions of the histogram, eqn, eqn, or eqn, and the highlighted region will turn red. Below the histogram, the quantities eqn, eqn, and eqn are shown.
  3. You may generate a sample of eqn Bernoulli trials. For each sample, the statistics eqn, eqn, and eqn computed by substituting eqn for eqn will be shown.
