Generating PDFs from uniformly distributed random numbers

Possibilities:

1. Bionomial & Poisson distribution
   • Pascal's triangle (for fun)
   • Example from single-molecule?
   • Poisson as limit of Binomial
   • Derivation of Poisson.
2. How to generate a PDF from uniformly distributed random numbers
3. Chi-squared test
4. Binomial theorem and confidence intervals
