Binomial distribution.
We consider repeated and independent trials of an experiment with two outcomes; we call one of the outcomes succes and yhe other outcome failure. Let p be the probability of succes, so that q=1-p is the probability of failure. If we are interested in the number of successes and not in the order in which they occur, then the following theorem applies.
Theorem 6.1
The probability of exactly k successes in n repeated trials is denoted and given by
b(k;n;p)=( n boven k).p tot de macht k . q tot de macht (n-k)
