| Description: |
Bob has produced a great spreadsheet that allows the user to
input a value for the probability of success in a binomial
distribution. The spreadsheet then displays probability
histograms for various values of n. It shows graphically
how, for large values of n, the binomial distribution
approximates the normal distribution.
