$p=RandBinomial(attempt,probability,number)

 

Generates number random binomial trials.  RandBinomial returns the number of successful attempts in attempt attempts where the probability of success on each attempt is probability.

 

For example, when rolling a die, the probability of rolling a six is one sixth.  If you roll a die 10 times, how many sixes will you roll?

 

You can simulate this problem thirty times using $p=RandBinomial(10,1/6,30) and you might generate the following data.

 

2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 3, 0, 1, 2, 1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 1, 1, 0, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 4, 1

 

A RandBinomial parameter is regeneratable. Every time you regenerate, you will be provided with a fresh set of data.

 

A RandBinomial parameter can be used for statistical calculations in the inline calculator.
