| 5831460313 | Binomial random variable | The count X of successes in a binomial setting | 11 | |
| 5831462755 | Binomial Distribution | The probability distribution of a binomial random variable. | 12 | |
| 5831475115 | binomial coefficient | the number of ways of arranging k successes among n observations; n choose k | 13 | |
| 5831481726 | mean of binomial random variable | np, where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success | 14 | |
| 5831484513 | standard deviation of binomial random variable | square root of (np)(1-p), where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success | 15 | |

| 5831511288 | T in BITS | T-Trials (the number of trials it takes to get one success) | 19 | |
| 5831516508 | Geometric Random Variable | The number of trials Y that it takes to get a success in a geometric setting | 20 | |
| 5831517481 | Geometric Distribution | the probability distribution of a geometric random variable | 21 | |
| 5831530293 | mean of a geometric random variable | the expected number of trials required to get the first success is 1/p where p is the probability of success | 22 |
