Bernie Would Have Won

Thanks DNC

Thanks cville

Thanks ChrisL

Thanks any centrist who prefers centrist purity to fascim
 
Bernie is a clown who is partially responsible for Trump.

And he wouldn't have won.
 
Who would you have voted for ChrisL?
 
Between Bernie and Trump? Bernie. I can think of almost nobody I would vote for Trump over.
 
Weren't you supposed to be camping last night?

Binomial Probability Distribution

To understand binomial distributions and binomial probability, it helps to understand binomial experiments and some associated notation; so we cover those topics first.

Binomial Experiment
A binomial experiment is a statistical experiment that has the following properties:

The experiment consists of n repeated trials.
Each trial can result in just two possible outcomes. We call one of these outcomes a success and the other, a failure.
The probability of success, denoted by P, is the same on every trial.
The trials are independent; that is, the outcome on one trial does not affect the outcome on other trials.
Consider the following statistical experiment. You flip a coin 2 times and count the number of times the coin lands on heads. This is a binomial experiment because:

The experiment consists of repeated trials. We flip a coin 2 times.
Each trial can result in just two possible outcomes - heads or tails.
The probability of success is constant - 0.5 on every trial.
The trials are independent; that is, getting heads on one trial does not affect whether we get heads on other trials.

We are looking a two success and one failure with respect to appreciation for the joke in the Tweet, so: 1, 1, 0 --> 2/3 gives us a P(succ) = 0.66

We probably need more data though.
