There are n identical and independent trials of a common procedure. There are exactly two possible outcomes for each trial, one termed “success” and the other “failure.” The probability of success on any one trial is the same number p. Then the discrete random variable X that counts the number of successes in the n trials is the binomial random variable with parameters n and p. We also say that X has a binomial distribution
