The binomial distribution function specifies the number of times (x) that an event occurs in n independent trials where p is the probability of the event occurring in a single trial. It is an exact probability distribution for any number of discrete trials. If n is very large, it may be treated as a continuous function. This yields the Gaussian distribution. If the probability p is so small that the function has significant value only for very small x, then the function can be approximated by the Poisson distribution.
