The binomial distribution is discrete. It describes the number of times a particular event occurs or fails to occur in a fixed number of trials, such as the number of heads in 10 flips of a coin or the number of defective items in 50 items. It can also used for Boolean logic (true/false or on/off).
Parameters
Probability, Trials
Conditions
The binomial distribution is used under these conditions:
For each trial, only two outcomes are possible, such as success or failure.
Trials are independent. Probability is the same from trial to trial.
The Yes-No distribution is equivalent to the Binomial distribution with one trial.
