Suppose that X ~ NB(r, p) [negative binomial distribution] and
that Y ~ B(n, p) [binomial].

Binomial Distribution. Suppose that X has a binomial
distribution with n = 50 and p = 0.6. Use Minitab to simulate 40
values of X.
MTB > random 40 c1;
SUBC > binomial 50 0.6.
Note: To find P(X < k) for any k > 0, use ‘cdf’ command;
this works by typing:
MTB > cdf;
SUBC > binomial 50 0.6.
