Use the given buttons and sliders to explore the relationship between the Binomial and Poisson distributions with respect to each other and the Normal Curve.
For what values of n and p is the normal curve closest to the Binomial Distribution? For what values of n1 and p1 is the normal curve closest to the Poisson distribution? For what values of n and p, and n1 and p1 are the Poisson and Binomial distributions closest to each other?
