Question 1034167: Please help me solve this question: {{Five independent trials of an experiment are carried out. The probability of a successful outcome is p and the probability of failure is q = 1 - p. Write out the probability distribution of x, where x is the number of successful outcomes in five trials.}} Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a binomial experiment repeated n = 5 times with probability of success p.
Hence it follows the binomial pmf .
