Document Summary

The values a random variable can assume and the corresponding probabilities of each. An experiment with a fixed number of independent trials. Each trial can only have two outcomes, or outcomes which can be reduced to two outcomes. The outcomes of a binomial experiment with their corresponding probabilities. A probability distribution resulting from an experiment with a fixed number of independent trials. Each trial has two or more mutually exclusive outcomes. The probability of each outcome must remain constant from trial to trial. A probability distribution used when a density of items is distributed over a period of time. The sample size needs to be large and the probability of success to be small. A probability distribution of a variable with two outcomes when sampling is done without replacement. A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes. However, some sample spaces are better than others. It is possible to get 0 heads, 1 head, or 2 heads.
