  2. Binomial theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_theorem

    In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial.According to the theorem, the power ⁠ (+) ⁠ expands into a polynomial with terms of the form ⁠ ⁠, where the exponents ⁠ ⁠ and ⁠ ⁠ are nonnegative integers satisfying ⁠ + = ⁠ and the coefficient ⁠ ⁠ of each term is a specific positive integer ...

  3. Binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution

    Suppose one wishes to calculate Pr(X ≤ 8) for a binomial random variable X. If Y has a distribution given by the normal approximation, then Pr(X ≤ 8) is approximated by Pr(Y ≤ 8.5). The addition of 0.5 is the continuity correction; the uncorrected normal approximation gives considerably less accurate results.

  4. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    The binomial coefficients can be arranged to form Pascal's triangle, in which each entry is the sum of the two immediately above. Visualisation of binomial expansion up to the 4th power. In mathematics, the binomial coefficients are the positive integers that occur as coefficients in the binomial theorem.

  5. Gaussian binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_binomial_coefficient

    The Gaussian binomial coefficients are defined by: [1] = () (+) () ()where m and r are non-negative integers. If r > m, this evaluates to 0.For r = 0, the value is 1 since both the numerator and denominator are empty products.

  6. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    The binomial approximation for the square root, + + /, can be applied for the following expression, + where and are real but .. The mathematical form for the binomial approximation can be recovered by factoring out the large term and recalling that a square root is the same as a power of one half.

  7. Central binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_binomial_coefficient

    The central binomial coefficients give the number of possible number of assignments of n-a-side sports teams from 2n players, taking into account the playing area side The central binomial coefficient ( 2 n n ) {\displaystyle {\binom {2n}{n}}} is the number of arrangements where there are an equal number of two types of objects.

  8. Trinomial expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomial_expansion

    The trinomial expansion can be calculated by applying the binomial expansion twice, setting = +, which leads to (+ +) = (+) = = = = (+) = = = ().Above, the resulting (+) in the second line is evaluated by the second application of the binomial expansion, introducing another summation over the index .

  9. De Moivre–Laplace theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Moivre–Laplace_theorem

    Within a system whose bins are filled according to the binomial distribution (such as Galton's "bean machine", shown here), given a sufficient number of trials (here the rows of pins, each of which causes a dropped "bean" to fall toward the left or right), a shape representing the probability distribution of k successes in n trials (see bottom of Fig. 7) matches approximately the Gaussian ...
