                     The Binomial




                     Distribution


















                     Introduction


                                 Many probability problems involve assigning probabilities to the outcomes
                                 of a probability experiment. These probabilities and the corresponding
                                 outcomes make up a probability distribution. There are many different
                                 probability distributions. One special probability distribution is called the
                                 binomial distribution. The binomial distribution has many uses such as in
                                 gambling, in inspecting parts, and in other areas.
