INTRO Success and Failure Experiments Explore the fundamental building block of discrete probability distributions. Step 1: The Simplest Experiment Click the coin below to flip it. Each flip has only two possible outcomes. ✅ Step 2: Binary Outcomes in Real Life Click on different scenarios below to see how binary outcomes appear everywhere around us. Step 3: Repeat and Stay Independent Click the button below to perform 10 coin flips in sequence. Watch how each flip is completely independent. Fixed number of trials, count successes → Binomial Distribution Keep going until first success → Geometric Distribution Keep going until r successes → Negative Binomial Distribution
