Binomial Distribution

The probability of failure in any trial is 'q' or 1 - p, where 'p' is the probability of success.
The probability of x successes and (n - x) failures in n independent trials is calculated as: (nCx) * p^x * q^(n-x), where nCx is the number of ways x successes can occur in n trials.
There are nCx ways to arrange x successes in n trials, where nCx is the number of combinations of n items taken x at a time.
The symbol 'q' represents the probability of failure in a binomial distribution.

Correlation

Correlation is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables in a bivariate distribution.
Correlation is said to be direct or positive when the variables tend to increase or decrease together.
Correlation is said to be diverse or negative when one variable tends to increase while the other decreases.
The simplest way to represent the correlation between two variables is through a scatter diagram.
A positive correlation between two variables in a scatter diagram indicates that as one variable increases, the other tends to increase as well.
Direct or positive correlation occurs when the variables tend to increase or decrease together.
Diverse or negative correlation occurs when one variable tends to increase while the other decreases.
A positive correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other tends to increase as well.
A negative correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other tends to decrease.
There is a negative correlation when one variable tends to increase while the other decreases.
