What is a binomial distribution?
The binomial distribution is one in which you have repeated trials of an experiment in which the outcomes of the experiment are independent, the probability of the outcome is constant.If there are n trials and the probability of "success" in each trail is p, then the probability of exactly r successes is (nCr)*p^r*(1-p)^(n-r) :where nCr = n!/[r!*(n-r)!]and n! = n*(n-1)*...*3*2*1
What happens to the probability as the number of trials increases?
Probability becomes more accurate the more trials there are.
Consider a binomial distribution with 10 trials What is the expected value of this distribution if the probability of success on a single trial is 0.5?

What is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials?
experimental probability
Is binomial distribution is characterized by situations that are analogous to coin tossing?
Yes it is. For a binomial, there must be a fixed number of trials, the probability must remain constant for trials, trials must be independent, and each outcome must be classified into 2 categories.
