Pascal[ <Number of Successes r>, <Probability of Success p> ]
Returns a bar graph of a Pascal distribution.
Parameters:
Number of Successes: number of independent Bernoulli trials that must be successful
Probability of Success: probability of success in one trial
Pascal[ <Number of Successes>, <Probability of Success>, <Boolean Cumulative> ]
Returns a bar graph of a Pascal distribution when Cumulative = false.
Returns a bar graph of a cumulative Pascal distribution when Cumulative = true.
First two parameters are same as above.
Pascal[ <Number of Successes>, <Probability of Success>, <Variable Value v>, <Boolean Cumulative> ]
Let X be a Pascal random variable.
Returns P( X = v) when Cumulative = false.
Returns P( X ≤ v) when Cumulative = true.
First two parameters are same as above.

CAS Syntax

In CAS View only one syntax is allowed:

Pascal[ <Number of Successes>, <Probability of Success>, <Variable Value v>, <Boolean Cumulative> ]
Let X be a Pascal random variable.
Returns P( X = v) when Cumulative = false.
Returns P( X ≤ v) when Cumulative = true.
