A new approach to probability problems in electrical engineering

THE PROBABILITY of simultaneous occurrences of events for which the individual rate of occurrence is known can be determined by the well-known binomial law. This law states that if n events have each a probability or rate of occurrence p, then the probabilities that 0, 1, 2, 3, etc., of the n events occur simultaneously, are given by the consecutive terms of the binomial function [p + (1 − p)]ⁿ.
