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 getting j is the probability of an event with probability 0.1 occuring j times in three tries.

CAS Syntax

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 getting j is the probability of an event with probability 0.1 occuring j times in three tries.
