Describe the bug

I am not sure if it is a bug or not, but when I try to enter 6000 as the parameter of a Poisson distribution, O get a "forbidden value" message. Is there any reason why this value is not handled by Numworks? I did not find it documented anywhere. Other graphing calculators can work with this value. I am asking from a point of view of a teacher (IB Diploma programme). On exams questions involving this mean can come up and students will have no chance of getting an answer if they do.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the 'Distributions' app
  2. Scroll down to 'Poisson'
  3. Type '6000' for the parameter and scroll down to 'Next'

Expected behavior

I would like Numworks to handle this value, even though for this mean the Poisson distribution is close to the normal distribution.
