Summary: std::binomial_distribution generates slightly larger
values than expected
Product: gcc
Version: 8.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: heavy.watal at gmail dot com

Visualization of the distribution difference
Here is a reproducible example:
https://github.com/heavywatal/scribble/tree/master/cxx/binomial
The sum of 10000 values from std::binomial_distribution(1000, 0.01) was
calculated 1000 times. Those from libstdc++ are slightly larger than expected.
Environment:
macOS 10.14.2
