ABSTRACT

This is the most popularly used discrete probability distribution that has large number of applications in real life. It is defined as A discrete random variable “X ” denoting number of successes in “n” independent Bernoulli trials is said to follow binomial probability distribution if its pmf is as follows:

( )( ) ( ) 1, 2, ,x n xnp X x p x p q x nx −= = = = … where, the random experiment, which has only two possible outcomes, is called the Bernoulli trial. These two outcomes of the Bernoulli trial are generally called the success and failure.
