About this tool: Binomial Probability

Calculate exact and cumulative binomial probabilities for independent trials with a constant success probability.

n is the number of independent trials, p is the success probability from 0 to 1, and k is a success count from 0 to n. The result includes P(X=k), P(X≤k), P(X≥k), the mean and variance. The chart samples the probability masses around the mean and chosen k; all probabilities use the complete distribution.

How the calculation works

P(X=k) = C(n,k)·pᵏ·(1−p)ⁿ⁻ᵏ
