Probability Quote by Metin Bektas
““There are C(n, k) ways to distribute a given event k-times in a string of n events. Hence, and now comes the grand moment, the probability that a certain event, occurring with the probability p, occurs k times within n trials is thus: P = C(n, k) · pk · (1-p)n-k And that! Ladies and gentleman, is the formula for the binomial distribution in all its glory. If””
