An interactive Excel spreadsheet that graphs the Binomial and Poisson distributions, with sliders to affect the probability for the Binomial, and lambda for the Poisson. The graphs update instantly so that you can see how the distributions change as the parameters change.

Two further sheets overlays the normal distribution (with the relevant mean and standard deviation), showing how well the normal curve models these distributions.

I suggest that it is shown via projector/SWB, and the teacher manipulates the slider to give students a more intuitive grasp of the distributions.

Exactly what I was looking for to help students visualise the Binomial Distribution. <br /> Thanks for sharing!

This is a perfect way to demonstrate how the graphs change for different values of n, p and lambda. Really nice and thank you.
