1.

A trial with only two possible outcomes is used so frequently as a building block of a
random experiment that it is called

Answer: Bernoulli trial

2.  is a number of successes in an experiment consisting of N trails.

Answer: binomial random variable 

3. defined as a discrete probability distribution of a random variable “x” which satisfies some of the
conditions. 

Answer: geometric distribution

4. is a discrete probability distribution that models the number of failures in a sequence of

independent and identically distributed Bernoulli trials before a specified (non-random) number of
successes occur.

Answer: negative binomial distribution

5.  is the number of successes that result from a hypergeometric experiment

Answer:  hypergeometric random variable

3. Sampling with replacement is not equivalent to sampling from an infinite set because the propor
tion of success remains constant for every trial in the experiment.

Why is the binomial distribution used in statistics?

The binomial distribution is frequently used to model the number of successes in a sample of size
drawn with replacement from a population of size N. If the sampling is carried out without
replacement, the draws are not independent and so the resulting distribution is a hypergeometric
distribution, not a binomial one.

In probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution is the discrete probability distribution that gives only two
possible results in an experiment, either Success or Failure. For example, if we toss a coin, there could be only two
possible outcomes: heads or tails, and if any test is taken, then there could be only two results: pass or fail. This
distribution is also called a binomial probability distribution.

in binomial probability distribution, the number of ‘Success’ in a sequence of n experiments, where each time a
question is asked for yes-no, then the boolean-valued outcome is represented either with success/yes/true/one
(probability p) or failure/no/false/zero (probability q = 1 − p)
