Binomial Distribution

The document discusses the binomial distribution. The binomial distribution describes the probability of success in a fixed number of Bernoulli trials. It is represented by the variables X~B(n,p), where n is the number of trials, p is the probability of success, and X is the number of successful trials. The mean is np and the variance is npq, where q is the probability of failure (1 - p).

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.
