9.3.3 Producing random numbers with the binomial distribution: randbinomial
The randbinomial command finds random numbers chosen
according to the binomial distribution (see Section 9.4.3).
-
randbinomial takes two arguments:
-
n, an integer.
- p, a probability (a number between 0 and 1).
- randbinomial(n,p) returns an integer from 0 to n chosen
randomly according to the binomial distribution with parameters n
and p; i.e., the number of successes you might get if you did an
experiment n times, where the probability of success each time is p.
Example.
Input:
randbinomial(100,0.4)
