The underlying assumptions of binomial distribution are that there is only one
outcome for each trial, that each trial has the same probability of success,
and that each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of one another.
For example, the expected value of the number of heads in 100 trials of
heads or tales is 50, or (100 × 0.5). Another common example of binomial
distribution is by estimating the chances of success for a free-throw shooter
in basketball, where 1 = a basket made and 0 = a miss.
where:
The mean of the binomial distribution is np, and the variance of the binomial
distribution is np (1 − p). When p = 0.5, the distribution is symmetric around
the mean. When p > 0.5, the distribution is skewed to the left. When p < 0.5,
the distribution is skewed to the right.
