Details

To calculate the binomial distribution, the user should give three number (the number of trials, probability of success and binomial random variable). The result is a discrete probability distribution that counts the number of successes in a sequence of n independent Bernoulli trials with a fixed probability p of occurrence of success between trials. We can saw the binomial distribution formule in the binomial_ help document.

Examples

  
  #data creation
  n = 3
  x = 2
  p = 0.7
