  2. Binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution

    The binomial distribution is the PMF of k successes given n independent events each with a probability p of success. Mathematically, when α = k + 1 and β = n − k + 1, the beta distribution and the binomial distribution are related by [clarification needed] a factor of n + 1:

  3. Binomial theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_theorem

    In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial.According to the theorem, it is possible to expand the polynomial (x + y) n into a sum involving terms of the form ax b y c, where the exponents b and c are nonnegative integers with b + c = n, and the coefficient a of each term is a specific positive integer depending ...

  4. Binomial test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_test

    The binomial test is useful to test hypotheses about the probability ( ) of success: where is a user-defined value between 0 and 1. If in a sample of size there are successes, while we expect , the formula of the binomial distribution gives the probability of finding this value: If the null hypothesis were correct, then the expected number of ...

  5. Negative binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_binomial_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the negative binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution that models the number of failures in a sequence of independent and identically distributed Bernoulli trials before a specified (non-random) number of successes (denoted ) occurs. [2] For example, we can define rolling a 6 on some ...

  6. Bernoulli process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_process

    The probability measure thus defined is known as the Binomial distribution. As we can see from the above formula that, if n=1, the Binomial distribution will turn into a Bernoulli distribution. So we can know that the Bernoulli distribution is exactly a special case of Binomial distribution when n equals to 1.

  7. Binomial proportion confidence interval - Wikipedia

    The probability density function (PDF) for the Wilson score interval, plus PDF s at interval bounds. Tail areas are equal. Since the interval is derived by solving from the normal approximation to the binomial, the Wilson score interval ( , + ) has the property of being guaranteed to obtain the same result as the equivalent z-test or chi-squared test.

  8. Pascal's triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_triangle

    In mathematics, Pascal's triangle is an infinite triangular array of the binomial coefficients which play a crucial role in probability theory, combinatorics, and algebra. In much of the Western world, it is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in Persia, [1] India, [2] China, Germany, and Italy.

  9. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    v. t. e. In probability theory and statistics, a probability distribution is the mathematical function that gives the probabilities of occurrence of possible outcomes for an experiment. [1][2] It is a mathematical description of a random phenomenon in terms of its sample space and the probabilities of events (subsets of the sample space). [3]
