Copyright © 2003, N. Ahbel Binomial Probabilities A Binomial Experiment has the following features: 1. There are repeated situations, called trials 2. There are only two possible outcomes, called success (S) and failure (F), for each trial 3. The trials are independent 4. Each trial has the same probability of success 5.

A Binomial Experiment has the following features: 1. There are repeated situations, called trials Each patient is a trial 2. There are only two possible outcomes, called success (S) and failure (F), for each trial Remission (S) and cancer reappears (F) 3. The trials are independent One patient’s outcome does not affect another's 4. Each trial has the same probability of success All patients are at the same risk level 5. The experiment has a fixed number of trials There are four patients in this group Suppose that the probability for a certain cancer to remain in remission for at least one year after chemotherapy is 0.7 for all patients with that cancer.
