ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Binomial type

Alright kiddo, let me explain the binomial type to you in a way you can understand. Imagine you have a toy box with two different types of balls inside: red balls and blue balls. Let's also say that you have 10 of each color.

Now imagine you stick your hand in the toy box and randomly grab one ball at a time. You count how many times you pick a red ball out of the toy box before you grab a blue ball.

This type of situation where you have two possible outcomes (red or blue ball) and you keep picking things out of a group until you achieve a certain goal (in this case, getting a blue ball) is called a binomial type experiment.

These types of experiments are very important in many areas of math and science, such as probability and statistics. They help us understand how likely it is that certain outcomes will occur, and how many times we need to repeat an experiment to get accurate results.

In summary, a binomial type experiment is when you have two possible outcomes and keep performing the experiment until you achieve a specific goal. It's like picking balls out of a toy box!
