Abstract

The aim of this research is to implement the statistical software which is R, in one of the Elementary Statistics topics called Probability Distribution. This study has explored the use of R and figured out that R is one of the statistical software that has its own utility to allow R user to create the function. Regarding to the objectives, R software is implemented in the topic of Probability Distribution which is Binomial distribution, Poisson distribution and Normal distribution. The researcher has been asked to explore R software and create as well as apply new functions. These functions are applied in R to produce Binomial distribution table, Poisson distribution table and Standard Normal Distribution table. The finding shows that these probability distribution tables can be produced using created functions where it shows the similar values when it compared to the actual tables of Binomial, Poisson and Standard Normal distribution. It can be clarified that the researcher managed to create functions with regard to reproduce these probability distribution tables by using R software. This research can be the usage to the other researcher or readers where they can learn on how to use R software since it is easy to learn and it does not require high programming skills. For the future research, it can be extended where other distribution tables can be produced by creating own functions in R software.
