Binomial distributions are the results of only two outcomes, such as will or won't, or something happens or it doesn't:

Will I find a parking spot or won't I?

Will I win the lottery or won't I?

Will my car start or won't it?

So if you flip a standard coin (one that has two different sides, heads and tails, as we have learned to call each side), it will land on either heads or tails. The more times you flip the coin, or experiment with potential outcomes, the probability distribution has more probability to change.

To complete the Discussion activity, please do the following:

• Discuss the probability of landing on heads if you flipped a coin 10 times.
• What is the probability the coin will land on heads on each of the 10 coin flips?
• Apply this same binomial experiment to a different real-world situation. Describe a situation involving probability.
• In your peer responses, ask for feedback from your peers on the potential outcomes of the presented situation
