In a binomial experiment in which the experiment has only two possible outcomes, success and failure, the random variable in this experiment is called a binomial random variable. This random variable is not continuous, it is a discrete random variable.
The conditions necessary for a binomial experiment are:
There are 'n' identical trials, which means that the experiment is conducted 'n' times, and the number of times the success comes is denoted by the random variable X. These trails must be independent of each other, which means that outcome of one experiment must not affect the outcome of the other.
Also, the probability of a success must be the same every time the experiment is conducted, thus the probability of success should remain same for all the trials.
