The Binomial Probability
Distribution is a very good
approach for resolving probability
involving random experiment
which has two possible outcomes.
The outcome that the event
(a) will occur; (b) will not occur.
The Formula:
P(x) = C p q
n
x (n-x)
Where:
P(X) = probability of X
n = number of trials
x = number of successes among trials
p = probability of success
q = probability of failure

n C x =

(n-x)! x!

Example1:
When an unbiased coin is tossed
seven times, what is the probability of
obtaining exactly 4 heads?

The Multinomial Probability Distribution
has more than 2 possible outcomes. It
deals with experiments where each trial
results in one of K possible outcomes. If
there an N independent trials and each
outcome has a constant probability, we
can calculate the probability of
observing specific counts for each
outcome.
