The Binomial Distributions workbook is introduced with an example using a fixed number of trials. It shows how the distribution changes as the value of p, the probability of a success, is altered.

The distribution is then illustrated using a simulation of a realistic situation: letters arriving in a sorting office.

Finally the spreadsheet shown enables students to visually compare up to three Binomial distributions with different values of n and p.
