The two independent constants n and p are known as the Parameters of the distribution. ‘n’ is 2°
Sometimes, known as the degree of the binomial distribution,
Binomial distribution is a discrete distribution as X can take only the integral values, viz, 0, 1, 2,
Any random variable which follows binomial distribution is known as binomial variate.
We shall use the notation X ~ B (n, p) to denote that the random variable X follows bixoail
