Think of this distribution in terms of coin flips. You have a certain number of coins, n, and a certain probability of getting heads, p. This distribution deals with the probability of getting x heads. The possibilities are 0 heads, 1 head, 2 heads, ..., n heads.
Instead of going from 0 to n, you can use the min
and max
parameters to go from min
to max
in intervals of (max - min)/n.
