The number of successes k in a series of n identical independent tests with the probability of success p in each trial has a binomial distribution. The probability function is given by the formula:


"P(k)=\\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}"

The probability that at most 2 are accepted (n=5, p=0.3):


"P(k\\le2)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)"
