==== As slices of generalized Pascal's triangle ==== Just like one can interpret the [[binomial distribution]] as (normalized) one-dimensional (1D) slices of [[Pascal's triangle]], so too can one interpret the multinomial distribution as 2D (triangular) slices of [[Pascal's pyramid]], or 3D/4D/+ (pyramid-shaped) slices of higher-dimensional analogs of Pascal's triangle. This reveals an interpretation of the [[range (statistics)|range]] of the distribution: discretized equilateral "pyramids" in arbitrary dimension—i.e. a [[simplex]] with a grid.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}}
