Binomial Distribution Definition/Meaning:

The basic discrete probability distribution for data in the form of proportions. An event. E, can occur with probability p. In a sample of n independent trials the probability that E occurs exactly r times is

ⁿC_rp^r(1 - p)^n-r

(see combination). The distribution is discrete, taking only the values 0, 1, 2,..., n. The mean of the binomial distribution is np and the variance is

np/(1 - p)
