Each trial has only two possible outcomes (Hence the name…)

• Must be two discrete variables
• n identical trials
• Each trial is independent of other trials
• P(success) = p, P(failure) = q = 1-p
• p and q remain constant throughout the trials
• In n trials, x successes are possible, where 0 £ x £ n
