Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A binomial random variable is a discrete random variable that counts the number of successes in a given number of trials, where each trial has only two possible outcomes (success or failure). It does not have a bell-shaped distribution and is not a continuous random variable. It also does not count the number of successes in a specified time interval or region, but rather in a specified number of trials.
