If XB(n,p)X \sim B(n, p) and YB(m,p)Y \sim B(m, p) are independent binomial variables with the same probability p,p, then X+YX + Y  is again a binomial variable; its distribution is Z=X+YB(n+m,p).Z=X+Y \sim B(n+m, p).

Given n1=5,n=8,p=1/4.n_1=5, n=8, p=1/4.

Then Z=X+YB(n1+n=13,p=1/4).Z=X+Y \sim B(n_1+n=13, p=1/4).
