An experiment which is made up of n similar Bernoulli trials

A probability distribution that describes the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials

The number of trials n, the probability of success p, and the number of successes, k in n trials

The probability of obtaining up to k successes in n trials and is calculated by summing the individual probabilities of k or fewer successes

Experiments with only two possible outcomes: success (typically denoted as 1) and failure (denoted as 0)

For large values of n and moderate values of p, the binomial distribution can be approximated by a normal distribution

Assumes independence between trials and a fixed probability of success
