Comparison Between Binomial and Poisson Distribution

This document compares the binomial, Poisson, and normal distributions for a variable X with n=100 trials and probability of success p=0.05. Tables of probabilities are provided for X=x for values of x from 0 to 100 for each distribution. A graph shows the probability mass/density functions of the binomial and Poisson distributions nearly overlap, while the normal distribution is a close approximation to the binomial.
