What are some common statistical distributions I can use in Python?

You can use distributions like Normal, Binomial, Poisson, and Exponential in Python. Libraries like SciPy and NumPy are great for this.

Can you show me how to implement a Normal distribution in Python?

Sure! You can use NumPy to create a Normal distribution like this:

import numpy as np

mean = 0
std_dev = 1
samples = np.random.normal(mean, std_dev, 1000)

How do I visualize this distribution?

You can use Matplotlib to visualize it. Here's an example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.hist(samples, bins=30, density=True)
plt.title('Normal Distribution')
plt.show()

What about other distributions? Can you give examples?

Of course! For a Binomial distribution, you can use:

n = 10  # number of trials
p = 0.5  # probability of success
binomial_samples = np.random.binomial(n, p, 1000)
