Even though this section does not tie directly to probability it does tie nicely to the combinations and provides a useful "shortcut" to use when expanding binomials. It can be used to expand such expressions as without performing polynomial multiplication.
Binomial probabilities are based on binomial expansions. For example, in an experiment in which there are two outcomes with probabilities of 0.75 and 0.25, the probabilities of various outcomes after n trials is defined by the expression .
This section should take you about 2.5 hours to complete.
