Sample size (nss)

Sample size.

Distribution

Probability distribution: binomial, Poisson.

Numbering

Number (1..nss) the sample vector. •

Parameter(s)

n = ; p (< 1) or λ =

Distribution parameter(s). (For Poisson, n is ignored.)

Seed

(0 for nonrepeating)

Integer seed for the simulation. •

Show values

Show the values of the graph coordinates.

Generates a random sample from the selected distribution. The underlying pseudo-random numbers come from the Fortran compiler.

A graph is drawn for the probability function (p) and accumulated probability function (P).
