binomial distribution

The binomial distribution is a probability distribution that describes the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials, where each trial has two possible outcomes: success (often denoted as 1) and failure (denoted as 0). The key characteristics of a binomial distribution include a constant probability of success (p) for each trial and a predetermined number of trials (N) ³.

A classic example of a binomial distribution is flipping a coin multiple times. For instance, if you flip a fair coin 10 times, the distribution can help you calculate the probability of getting a specific number of heads (successes) ². The binomial probability mass function (PMF) and cumulative density function (CDF) are essential tools for calculating these probabilities ³.

In practical applications, the binomial distribution is useful in various fields, including quality control, finance, and marketing, where outcomes can be categorized into two distinct groups ²⁴.
