The probability density function (PDF) for the Wilson score interval, plus PDF s at interval bounds. Tail areas are equal. Since the interval is derived by solving from the normal approximation to the binomial, the Wilson score interval ( , + ) has the property of being guaranteed to obtain the same result as the equivalent z-test or chi-squared test.
For a confidence level, there is a corresponding confidence interval about the mean , that is, the interval [, +] within which values of should fall with probability . ...
The second study design is given by the product of two independent binomial distributions; the totals in one of the margins (either the row totals or the column totals) are constrained by the experimental design, but the totals in other margin are free. This is by far the most common form of experimental design, where the experimenter ...
The construction of binomial confidence intervals is a classic example where coverage probabilities rarely equal nominal levels. [3] [4] [5] For the binomial case, several techniques for constructing intervals have been created.
The rule can then be derived [2] either from the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution, or from the formula (1−p) n for the probability of zero events in the binomial distribution. In the latter case, the edge of the confidence interval is given by Pr( X = 0) = 0.05 and hence (1− p ) n = .05 so n ln (1– p ) = ln .05 ≈ −2.996.
The binomial test is useful to test hypotheses about the probability of success: : = where is a user-defined value between 0 and 1.. If in a sample of size there are successes, while we expect , the formula of the binomial distribution gives the probability of finding this value:

Methods for calculating confidence intervals for the binomial proportion appeared from the 1920s. [6] [7] The main ideas of confidence intervals in general were developed in the early 1930s, [8] [9] [10] and the first thorough and general account was given by Jerzy Neyman in 1937.
