Binomial distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent yes/no experiments, each of which...

Mean and Variance of the Binomial Distribution ... The binomial distribution describes the behavior of a count variable X if the following conditions apply: ... To find probabilities from a binomial distribution, one may either calculate them directly, use a binomial table, or use a computer. The number of sixes rolled by...

The possible counts, X = 0,1,2, ..., n, and their associated probabilities define the binomial distribution, denoted by B(n,p). ... The following Binomial Applet can be used to experiment with the binomial distribution.

In statistics the so-called binomial distribution describes the possible number of times that a particular event will occur in a sequence of observations. The event is coded binary, it may or may not occur. The binomial distribution is used when a researcher is interested in the occurrence of an event, not in its magnitude.

The binomial distribution is used when there are exactly two mutually exclusive outcomes of a trial. These outcomes are appropriately labeled "success" and "failure".

This probability distribution is called the binomial distribution. The blue distribution represents the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. It is a very good approximation in this case. The higher the value of N and the closer p is to .5, the better the approximation will be.

For convenience, one of the outcomes can be labeled "success" and the other outcome "failure." If an event occurs N times (for example, a coin is flipped N times), then the binomial distribution can be used to determine the probability of obtaining exactly r successes in the N outcomes.

The binomial distribution consists of the probabilities of each of the possible numbers of successes on N trials for independent events that each have a probability of π(the Greek letter pi) of occuring. For the coin flip example, N=0.5 and π=0.5. The formula for the binomial distribution is shown below: Pr[x]=

An experiment has a binomial probability distribution if three conditions are satisfied. ... example: A multiple choice test contains 20 questions. Each question has five choices for the correct answer. Only one of the choices is correct. With random guessing, does the test have a binomial probability distribution?
