Binomial distribution

Compare two binomials

Binomial 1

Binomial 2

Set the desired values for n (number of events) and p (probability of success on a single event) using the sliders

Understanding p

Let's play dice:
Pick a dice game rule in the list on the right, and throw the dice.
You win the game with probability p, according to the selected rule.
Each rule has a different success probability, denoted as p

Result

(throw dice)

Understanding n and k

Now we are going to throw the dice n times.
Enter the number of dice throws you want to play, and run the game.
The number of winning hands is k

Num. of throws (n)

Test k

Throw n times

Play the game

We can repeat the game many times, each time saving k.
The more we play, the more the distribution of k resembles the Binomial(n, p).
