n=45
p=25
The pmf is 45Cx*(p)^x*(1-p)^(n-x)
where n is the number of trials
and x is the number

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


In the expression X ~ Bin(45,25), the second argument, by the definition, should represent the probability.

But in this case the given value p = 25 can not be a value of probability, since the value of 25 is greater than 1.

So, this expression x ~ Bin(45.25) makes no sense, and the assignment in whole is non-sensical.

It should be corrected to make sense.

The treatment by @amarjeeth is  INCORRECT  and leads to  NOWHERE  (leads to the abyss,  that's what  I  want to say).
