Episode Synopsis "Deciding if a distribution is Binomial or Poisson (StatsCasts)"

In this video we look at how to decide for a given scenario (worded problem) if the distribution described is a Binomial distribution or Poisson distribution and whether its probability distribution function or its cumulative distribution function is required to calculate a specified probability.
