What is the Binomial distribution?
“A binomial distribution can be thought of as simply the probability of a SUCCESS or
FAILURE outcome in an experiment or survey that is repeated multiple times. The binomial is a
type of distribution that has two possible outcomes. For example, a coin toss has only two
possible outcomes: heads or tails and taking a test could have two possible outcomes: pass or
fail”.
What are the five characteristics of a Binomial Experiment?
1. The experiment consists of n identical trials.
2. There are only two possible outcomes on each trial.
3. The probability of S remains the same form trial to trail
4. The trails are independent
5. The binomial random variable X is the number of S's in n trials
