The Binomial Distribution

Random: unsigned int gsl_ran_binomial (const gsl_rng * r, double p, unsigned int n)
This function returns a random integer from the binomial distribution, the number of successes in n independent trials with probability p. The probability distribution for binomial variates is,

for @c{$0 \le k \le n$} @math{0 <= k <= n}.

Function: double gsl_ran_binomial_pdf (unsigned int k, double p, unsigned int n)
This function computes the probability @math{p(k)} of obtaining k from a binomial distribution with parameters p and n, using the formula given above.
