 Binomial Distribution

If a variable X represents a value or an outcome

of an experiment which cannot be predicted,
then X is called a random variable.

If the values of X are discrete, then X is called a

discrete random variable.
 Binomial Distribution

For example, if X represents the outcome of an

experiment in which a dice is rolled, then the
values of X are 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.
So X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
An experiment which has only two possible
outcomes, that is success or failure is called a
Bernoulli’s experiment.

r = number of successful trials
p = probability of success
q = probability of failure
