24 Beroulli Trials Defiitio (Beroulli Trial A Beroulli trial is a experimet that has exactly two possible outcomes. The outcomes are called success ad failure. Toss a coi. Outcomes: heads or tails. Roll a die. Outcomes: eve or odd. Draw a card. Outcomes: ace or ot ace. Robb T. Koether (Hampde-Sydey College The Biomial Theorem Fri, Apr 8, / 25

25 Biomial Experimets Defiitio (Biomial Experimet A biomial experimet is a experimet that cosists of a fixed umber of idepedet ad idetical Beroulli trials. Let be the umber of trials ad let p be the probability of success. Defiitio (Biomial Radom Variable A biomial radom variable is a variable whose value is the umber of successes i a biomial experimet.
