Discrete Distribution Continuous Distribution
Binomial Distribution Uniform Distribution
Poisson distribution Exponential distribution
Geometric distribution Normal distribution
, Binomial Experiment
• A binomial experiment has the following properties:
– experiment consists of n identical and independent trials
– each trial results in one of two outcomes: success or failure
• P(success) = p
• P(failure) = q = 1 - p for all trials
– The random variable of interest, X, is the number of successes
in the n trials.
– X has a binomial distribution with parameters n and p
