• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle numbers} is the number of successes in trials.
• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle trials}  is the number of independent trials.
• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle probability}  is the probability of success on each trial.
• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle cumulative} is a logical value that determines the form of the function.
  • BINOMDIST(), returns the individual term binomial distribution probability.

Description

• This function gives the individual element Binomial Distribution Probability.
• We can use this function when the following conditions are satisfied:

1. A number of tests Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n} should be fixed.
2. Each test must be independent.
3. Each test represents only two results(Success/Failure)
4. No test has any impact on any other test.

For example, the number of ways to achieve 2 heads in a set of four tosses is "4 choose 2".

• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle probability} is the number of probability of success on each independent trials.
• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle cumulative} is the logical value like TRUE or FALSE. If it is TRUE it will give the cumulative value or FALSE it will give the exact probability.

Example

1. Toss a coin for 12 times. What is the probability of getting exactly 7 heads.
   • Here ns=7,ts=12,and ps=1/2=0.5

1. The LMB Company manufactures tires. They claim that only .007 of LMB tires are defective. What is the probability of finding 2 defective tires in a random sample of 50 LMB tires?
   • Here ns=2,ts=50 and ps=0.007

Questions	ns	ts	ps	cu	Result
Question 1	7	12	0.5(1/2)	FALSE	0.193359375
Question2	2	15	0.007	FALSE	0.00469597319803066
Question3	2	10	0.2	TRUE	0.6777995264000007
