Many statistical courses teach about the binomial probability distribution.
The binomial distribution is very useful for modelling certain discrete happenings.
This video explains when the binomial can be used, with an example of breaking ice cream cones. If you have questions, please put them in the comments below.

Thank you. Dr. Nic, Your examples were exactly what I needed. Explaining visually what each letter represents is extremely helpful.

Statisticus van be very frustrating when you don’t understand it. Thanks for these awesome and simple explanations. You honestly made me want to learn more about statistics than I already have to for my physics classes. Thank you!

You are right about statistics being frustrating. It is so nice to hear that you would like to learn more because of my videos. You can find them in a more organised form on our website: creativemaths.net/videos/

I'm glad to hear it. I like that it shows the graph of the results as well so you can better understand what is going on.

I can imagine a parent using Binomial Probability Distribution to argue with their kids on why twas unlikely that the cones broke on their own.

Hello can you do T-student and Q-square distribution please?

@DrNic 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to the list. (Do you mean chi-squared?) They are both variations on the normal distribution and mainly used in statistical analysis rather than simulation and modelling, so I find them less interesting, I must confess.

Please upload video on Poisson

I'm currently working on ANOVA, but Poisson is on the list. I only do these in my spare time as I have to earn a living.

Look up on wikipedia or similar for the formula for the binomial distribution - or you can use tables as we used to do when I was at school before computers were around.

What does the '9' below represent??

@DrNic 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Andres. It really helps if you put a time stamp to go with your question. I did not know what 9 you are talking about and had to watch the video to find it at 2:25. - I presume that is it. The 9 is just a number left in there from a different search for a probability. Only the numbers to the right of the selected radio button are relevant.
