What are the conditions for an event to be modeled with the binomial distribution?


The event should be; mutually exclusive from the other outcome, independent from the other outcome (so its probability doesn't change ) and happen within a fixed number of trials. A good example would be the number of times a coin lands on heads in 20 tosses.
