In this program, an evil genius named Emily and other experts reveal two more probability distributions for discrete random variables. First, the Poisson approximation to the binomial and its use in the Poisson Probability Formula are spotlighted, along with the natural logarithm constant. Then, the Urn Model is appraised, in which sampling both with and without replacement is demonstrated. (22 minutes)
