BinomialDistribution[n, p]
represents a binomial distribution with n trials and success probability p.

Details Details

The probability for value in a binomial distribution is for integers from 0 to n. »
BinomialDistribution allows n to be any non-negative integer.
BinomialDistribution can be used with such functions as Mean, CDF, and RandomVariate. »
