Hello MathGroup,

I have been trying to find a good way of making Mathematica help me
prepare some lecture notes in elementary probability. This is what I
want to achieve:

Given the probability function for a discrete random variable, e.g in
the form of a list of probabilities

1. Plot the probability function (I can do this with ListPlot or
BarChart)

2. Plot the cumulative probability function.

That remains to be done in some reasonably automatic way.

I'd be glad for any helpful hints.

Regards,
