Each performance of an n-trial binomial experiment results in some whole number from 0 through N as the value of the random variable X, where Af.
For example, the marksman gets 5 shots, but we take his score to be the number of shots before his first bull's-eye, that is, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ( or 5, if he gets no bull's-eye ).
Thus we do not score the number of bull's-eyes, and the random variable is not the number of successes.
Obviously, very slight changes in P do not change the probabilities much, and a slight lack of independence may not make an appreciable difference.
) On the other hand, even when the binomial model does not describe well the physical phenomenon being studied, the binomial model may still be used as a baseline for comparative purposes ; ;
A binomial experiment consists of Af independent binomial trials, all with the same probability Af of yielding a success.
