The document discusses the binomial probability distribution. It defines the binomial distribution as arising from Bernoulli experiments performed n number of times, with exactly two mutually exclusive outcomes of success or failure. It provides the key characteristics of the binomial distribution, such as the experiments consisting of n identical trials where each trial is independent and has the same probability p of success. It also gives the formula for the binomial distribution and provides two examples of calculating probabilities for binomial experiments.
2.  A random experiment with only two outcomes is a result of
Bernoulli's experiment.
 One outcome is labeled ‘p’ (success), other is ‘q’ (failure).
 P= p(success)+q(failure)
 Example: If we consider heads as success, then tails will definitely
be a failure.
 A binomial distribution arises when Bernoulli’s experiment is
performed ‘n’ number of times.

3.  The Binomial Distribution is one of the discrete probability
distribution.
 It is used when there are exactly two mutually exclusive
outcomes of a trial.
 These outcomes are appropriately labeled Success and
Failure.
 The Binomial Distribution is used to obtain the probability of
observing r successes in n trials, with the probability of
success on a single trial denoted by p.
BIONOMIAL DISTRIBUTION
4.  The experiment consists of a sequence of n identical trials.
 Each outcome must be classified as a success (p) or a failure (q).
 The probability distribution is discrete.
 Each trial is independent and therefore the probability of success
and the probability of failure is the same for each trial.
CHARACTERSTICS
6.  If a student randomly guesses at five multiple-choice
questions, find the probability that the student gets
exactly three correct. Each question has five possible
choices.
Example 1
7. SOLOUTION
 In this case n = 5, X = 3, and p = 1/5, since there is one
chance in five of guessing a correct answer. Then,
8. A (blindfolded) marksman finds that on the average he hits
the target 4 times out of 5. If he fires 4 shots, what is the
probability of..
(a) more than 2 hits?
(b) at least 3 misses?
