Binomial Distribution

Suppose you rolled a fair dice, ten times. What is the probability that you would throw a six exactly three times?

This situation can be modelled by a binomial distribution so the result can be found using the probability mass function of the binomial distribution. The formula is stated here, but we will look at this in more depth in a little while:

In this article, we will find out what a binomial distribution is, and how to use the formula to solve problems like the one above. We will see where the formula comes from, and see some of the properties of the…
