Multinomial Distribution The binomial distribution applies only to cases involvingtwo types of outcomes, whereas the multinomial distribution involves more than two categories.Suppose we have three types of mutually exclusive outcomes denoted by A, B, andC. Let P(A) = p1, P(B) = p2, and P(C) = p3. In n independent trials, the probability of x1outcomes of type A, x2 outcomes of type B, and x3 outcomes of type C is given byn!(x1)!(x2)!(x3)!# px11 # px22 # px33A roulette wheel in the Hard Rock casino in Las Vegas has 18 red slots, 18 black slots, and2 green slots.
