(probability theory, statistics) The discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent trials, each of which yields success with probability p.

(statistics) A probability distribution such that for a random variable X with that distribution holds that the probability that X is greater than some number x is given by / Pr (X>x)=(x/(x_m))⁻ᵏ
