About this calculator
Binomial Distribution Calculator is a professional probability and statistics tool used to calculate the probability, expectation and variance of the binomial distribution. The binomial distribution describes the probability distribution of k successes in n independent Bernoulli trials. For example, if you toss a coin 10 times, the probability of getting heads 5 times. The binomial distribution is one of the most important discrete probability distributions and is widely used in quality control, medical experiments, market research and other fields. This calculator supports calculation of single-point probability, cumulative probability, expectation, variance, standard deviation and other statistics, and provides intuitive probability distribution charts.
