BINOMIAL BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTIONDISTRIBUTION
Binomial TrialsBinomial Trials There are a specified number of There are a specified number of
repeatedrepeated,, independentindependent trialstrials The outcome of Binomial experiments or The outcome of Binomial experiments or
Trials are either a Trials are either a SuccessSuccess or or FailureFailure The Probability of Success is the The Probability of Success is the samesame in in
each trialeach trial The The Random VariableRandom Variable is the number of is the number of
successes in a given number of trialssuccesses in a given number of trials
These are also called Bernoulli TrialsThese are also called Bernoulli Trials
