6.2 BINOMIAL PROBABILITIES
Features Fixed number of trials (n) Trials are independent and repeated under identical conditions Each trial has only two outcomes: success (S) or failure (F) For each trial, the probability of success is the same Probability of success (p) Probability of failure (q) p + q = 1 and q = 1 – p The central problem → find the probability of r successes out of n trials **Example 3 p.217/Guided Exercise 4 p.218 BINOMIAL (BERNOULLI) EXPERIMENTS
