In probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution with parameters n and p is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiments, each asking a yesno question, and each with its own booleanvalued outcome. Negative binomial failures r, probability of success p. The binomial distribution is frequently used to model the number of successes in a sample of size n drawn with replacement from a population of size n. However, in practice, its often easier to just use ggplot because the options for qplot can be more confusing to use. A loop ignores the returned obects, whereas the apply family will waste effort collecting and returning them. The binomial distribution is used to model the total number of successes in a fixed number of independent trials that have the same probability of success, such as modeling the probability of a given number of heads in ten flips of a fair coin.
