Binomial distribution

Binomial( n,p )

Consider an event—such as a coin coming down heads—that can be true or false in each trial—or each toss—with probability p -- it has a Bernoulli distribution. A binomial distribution describes the number of times an event is true -- e.g., the coin is heads -- in n independent trials—or tosses—where the event occurs with probability p on each trial.
