INTRODUCTION
 Binomial distribution was discovered by JAMES
BERNOILLI in 1738.
 This is a discrete probability distribution.
 Binomial Distribution in Probability can be
implemented when there are two possible
outcomes i.e. Success or Failure
What is binomial distribution?
 A random variable X has a binomial distribution it
assumes only non-negative values and its
probability density function is given by
 p(r)={n
Cr pr
qn-r r=0,1,2,3…..n
0 q=1-p otherwise p+q=1
Formulas of binomial distributions
 Mean of binomial distribution:
mean( μ) = np
 Variance of binomial distributions:
variance σ2
= npq
 Standard Deviation of binomial distributions:
standard deviation σ= √(npq)
 Where p is the probability of success
q is the probability of failure, where q = 1-p
 Q: 8 coins are tossed . Find the probability of getting heads
p(x=3)
Solution: Given that n=8
p=1/2,q=1/2
p(r)= n
Cr pr
qn-r
= 8
C3 (1/2)3
(1/2)8-3
= 8
C3 (1/2)3
(1/2)5
= 8
C3 (1/8)(1/32)
= 56(1/8)(1/32)
=7/32=0.21875
 Applications of binomial distribution :
 There are a fixed number of trials or experiments.
 Each trial has two possible outcomes (success or
failure).
 The probability of success is constant across trials.
 The trials are independent of one another.
