    This document compares the binomial, Poisson, and normal distributions for a binomial experiment with p=0.05 and n=20 trials. The graphs show the probability mass functions for each distribution, with the binomial and normal distributions being very similar in shape but the Poisson distribution differing in having a higher peak and thinner tails. A second graph shows the comparison for p=0.5, where the distributions are more similar to each other.
