binomial distribution
a probability distribution
the probability of a specific incident to occur
times out of
times is a combination, so:
such that
,
a random variable is binomially distributive with the parameters
and is written as
if
receives the values
with the probabilities
(the formula above)
- the symbol of the binomial distribution is
- expected value is
- variance is
bernoulli trial
independent repeated trials of an experiment with exactly two possible outcomes are called bernoulli trials
if
then
