Binomial distribution 80’s style

binomial

Here’s the binomial distribution 80’s style. Each click generates a series of n independent Bernoulli trials resulting in a random variable Y which is the number of successes. The probability function of Y is:

p(y)=\binom{n}{y}p^yq^{n-y}, y=0,1, \cdots ,n

where \binom{n}{y}=\frac{n!}{y!(n-y)!}
