18. Binomial Distribution

The Binomial Distribution is a crucial discrete probability distribution modeling the number of successes in fixed independent Bernoulli trials. It operates under specific assumptions and includes key statistical measures such as mean, variance, and standard deviation, among others. The distribution is widely applied across various fields including engineering, quality control, and finance, and can be approximated by a normal distribution under certain conditions.
