Question 261877: Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trail repeated n times. Use the binomial probability formula to find the probability of x successes given the probability p of success on a single trial.
n = 6, x = 3, p =1/6

If we succeed 3 times, we fail 3 times.
success + fail = total
x + fail = n
p(s) = 1/6
p(f) = 5/6
---
we now get
(6c3)*(1/6)^3*(5/6)^3 ~ 0.05358
