The “rbinom” Function in R

  • Package: Base R (no specific package required)

  • Purpose: Generates random numbers from a binomial distribution.

  • General Class: Random Number Generation

  • Required Argument(s):

    • n: The number of random values to generate.

    • size: The number of trials.

    • prob: The probability of success on each trial.

  • Notable Optional Arguments:

    • None.

  • Example:

  • # Generate 100 random values from a binomial distribution with 10 trials and probability of success 0.3
    random_values <- rbinom(n = 100, size = 10, prob = 0.3)
    print(random_values)

  • In this example, the rbinom function is used to generate 100 random values from a binomial distribution with 10 trials and a probability of success of 0.3. The generated values are then printed to the console.
