Yes, but you must construct the graph yourself, which is simple enough. Or
you may do it using another add-on package, namely Graphics`Graphics`. First
load the Statistics package:
In[1]:=
<< Statistics`DiscreteDistributions`;
Suppose you want your parameters to be 20 (number of trials) and 0.5
(probability in a single trial). Define
In[2]:=
bin = BinomialDistribution[20, 0.5];
The table of values of the distribution is
b = Table[PDF[bin, j], {j, 0, 20}];
Now you load the Graphics package:
In[3]:=
<< Graphics`Graphics`;
Finally, you produce the desired graph:
In[4]:=
BarChart[b, PlotRange -> {{0, 20}, {0, 0.2}}];
Try the above. There are many options which you can use to improve the look
of your plot. Above all, study carefully the help browser on the Graphics
package. And do a lot of experiments to make yourself familiar with it. It
pays.
