ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
The binomial distribution is a probability distribution that describes the number of successes (usually denoted as "k") in a fixed number of independent and identical Bernoulli trials or experiments (i.e., trials with only two possible outcomes: success and failure). It is named after the Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli.
