infoWhy this? The binomial distribution models the number of successes in a fixed number of independent trials with two outcomes and a constant probability of success. It enables us to calculate probabilities efficiently and assess whether this model suits a real situation.

scheduleWhy now? Tree diagrams and combined probability have established how probabilities of independent outcomes are combined. Moving from individual outcomes to a distribution of success counts introduces a discrete model before we study continuous distributions.
