where q = 1 - p.
Rule 5 is a generalized form of the binomial expansion, applying to all terms
of the binomial (p + q)". This distribution has had widespread use in generatingsystem probability studies. For example, assume that a generation system is
composed of four identical units and that each of these units has a probability
p of being in service at any randomly chosen time. The probability of being
out of service is q = 1 - p. Assume that each machine's behavior is independent
of the others. Then, a table may be constructed showing the probability of
having 4, 3, 2, 1, and none in service.
