YMS Ch7: Random Variables AP Statistics at LSHS Mr. Molesky

This document discusses binomial and geometric distributions. The binomial distribution models a fixed number of independent yes/no trials with a constant probability of success on each trial. It can be summarized as B(n,p) where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success. The geometric distribution models the number of trials until the first success and can model wait time situations. As the number of trials increases, the binomial distribution approaches the normal distribution.
