Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And is the probability of X happening.
(a) A fair die is rolled 50 times. X = number of times a 5 is rolled
The die is rolled 50 times, so .
