Hi,

I want to plot a binomial propability distribution.

I know how to generate the data;

   x <- seq(from=0, to=14, by=1)
   y <- dbinom(x, 14, 0.7, log = FALSE)

I tried:
plot(x,y, type="h")
  but the bars are very thin -is there a way to define the width?

yes - the lwd parameter controls line width. E.g.:

plot(x,y, type='h', lwd=5)

This is the way I usually plot count data - I prefer this over
something
that looks like a normal histogram, because it reminds me that I am
looking at discrete values.
