Solution Summary

Hypergeometric, binomial and poisson graphs using Excel are examined.

Solution Preview

The attached Excel spreadsheet shows the solution. The step-by-step process is as follows, essentially identical to each distribution.

1. Find out the range of values that x can take for each distribution.
For the hypergeometric and binomial distributions, this should range from 0 to n.
For the Poisson, this should range from 0 to infinity (however the probabilities get extremely ...
