This is an homework assignment on the probability distribution from Week 3 class of Data Analysis course. Doing this assignment has helped me appreciate: 1. The different types of distribution that are available. 2.When to use what kind of distribution. 3. How important is it to understand and test the assumptions of each distribution to ensure it can fit into a given scenario.
The R functiona mainly used to answer the questions in this exercise are: * pbinom * dbinom * ppoise * dpoise * dgeom * pgeom

You can also embed plots, for example:
Note that the echo = FALSE
parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
