RandomBinomial[Number n of Trials, Probability p]: Generates a random number from a binomial distribution with n trials and probability p.; Example:
RandomBinomial[3, 0.1] gives j ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3}, where the probability of retaining j is the probability of an event with probability 0.1 occuring j times in three tries.

RandomBinomial[Number n of Trials, Probability p]: Generates a random number from a binomial distribution with n trials and probability p.; Example:
RandomBinomial[3, 0.1] gives j ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3}, where the probability of retaining j is the probability of an event with probability 0.1 occuring i times in three tries.
