RandomBinomial( <Number of Trials>, <Probability> )
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.
