[ adjective ] (mathematics) relating to binomials
Examples "binomial expression" Used in print (Frederick Mosteller et al., Probability with...)The binomial probability distribution may describe the variation that occurs from one set of trials of such a binomial experiment to another . We begin with a_few examples of binomial experiments . We now generalize these ideas for general binomial experiments . For an experiment to qualify as a binomial experiment , it must have four properties : ( 1 ) there must be a fixed number of trials , ( 2 ) each trial must result in a `` success '' or a `` failure '' ( a binomial trial ) , ( 3 ) all trials must have identical probabilities of success , ( 4 ) the trials must be independent of each other .
