For a binomial experiment, red%28n%29 denotes the number of times the experiment is repeated (independently).

- the number of possible outcomes for a binomial experiment is given by 2%5En.
- the sample size kis the number of elements in a subset of the event space of the binomial experiment, and k%3C=+2%5En.
- the "not success" condition is also a subset of the event space of a binomial experiment, and its number is less than or equal to 2%5En.
