The binomial distribution is a probability distribution that describes the number of successes in a fixed number of independent trials with a given probability of success.
The probability of a specific number of successes (k) in a binomial distribution can be calculated using the formula P(k) = nCk * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k), where n is the number of trials, p is the probability of success, and nCk is the combination function.
A binomial distribution is used for discrete data, while a normal distribution is used for continuous data. Additionally, a binomial distribution has a fixed number of trials and a probability of success, while a normal distribution has a mean and standard deviation.
The mean of a binomial distribution is given by np, where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success. The standard deviation is given by √(np(1-p)).
Yes, the binomial distribution can be used to model real-world data that can be categorized as success or failure in a fixed number of trials with a known probability of success. Examples include flipping a coin, rolling a die, or testing the effectiveness of a new drug.
