Binomial Distributions A coin-tossing experiment is a simple example of an important discrete random variable called the binomial random variable .
Example- A sales person interested in sale of a policy, if he visits 10 people in a day what is the probability of his selling policy to one person, or 2 person, ….
Definition: A binomial experiment is one that has these four characteristics: 1. The experiment consists of n identical results/ trials/ observation. 2. Each trial results in one of two outcomes: one outcome is called a success, S , and the other a failure, F. 3. The probability of success on a single trial is equal to p and remains the same from trial to trial. The probability of failure is equal to (1 - p ) = q. 4. The trials are independent.
The Binomial Probability function x = the number of successes p = the probability of a success on one trial n = the number of trials f ( x ) = the probability of x successes in n trials

Binomial Formula.  Suppose a binomial experiment consists of n  trials and results in x  successes. If the probability of success on an individual trial is P , then the binomial probability is: b( x ; n, P ) = n C x  * P x  * (1 - P) n – x b( x ; n, P ) = n C r  * P r  * (1 - P) n – r Where r is the value which the random variable takes
EXAMPLE Suppose a coin is tossed 2 times. What is the probability of getting 0 head Solution: Â This is a binomial experiment in which the number of trials is equal to 2, the number of successes is equal to 0, and the probability of success on a single trial is 1/2. Therefore, the binomial probability is: b(0; 2, 0.5) =Â 2 C Â * (0.5) Â * (0.5) 2 Â = 1/4 (b) 1 head b(1; 2, 0.5) =Â 2 C 1 Â * (0.5) 1 Â * (0.5) 1 Â = 2/4 (c) 2 head b(2; 2, 0.5) =Â 2 C 2 * (0.5) 2 Â * (0.5) Â = 1/4
EXAMPLE Suppose a coin is tossed 10 times. What is the probability of getting 0 head Solution: Â This is a binomial experiment in which the number of trials is equal to 10, the number of successes is equal to 0, and the probability of success on a single trial is 1/2. Therefore, the binomial probability is: b(0; 10, 0.5) =Â 10 C Â * (0.5) Â * (0.5) 10 Â = 1/1024 Number of Trial 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 outcome T T T T T T T T T T Probability 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5
