Final answer:

A binomial experiment has three conditions: a fixed number of trials, two possible outcomes per trial (success and failure), and independence between trials. Examples of binomial probabilities include flipping a coin and counting the number of heads, and giving a multiple choice test and counting the number of correct answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

A binomial experiment has three conditions:

  1. There are a fixed number of trials, denoted by n.
  2. There are only two possible outcomes, called success and failure, for each trial, with probabilities denoted by p and q respectively.
  3. The trials are independent, meaning the outcome of one trial does not affect the outcome of another trial.

Examples of binomial probabilities include:

  • Flipping a fair coin and counting the number of heads obtained in a fixed number of flips.
  • Giving a multiple choice test with a fixed number of questions and counting the number of correct answers.

A repeated series of independent experiments where there is only two possible outcomes (Normally called "Success" or "Failure")
Examples: When you flip a coin. Out comes: head or tails
Hope it helped :) Sorry if it was to late
