Expectation is used in insurance and games of chance.
Summary (cont'd.)
The binomial distribution is used when there are only two outcomes for an experiment, a fixed number of trials, the probability is the same for each trial, and the outcomes are independent of each other.
Conclusion
Many decisions in business, insurance, and other real-life situations are made by assigning probabilities to all possible outcomes pertaining to the situation and then evaluating the results.
