Remarks

The binomial distribution gives the probability of obtaining k successes in n independent Bernoulli trials in which the probability of success in each trial is p.

Therefore, for a single trial, the binomial distribution reduces to a Bernoulli distribution (BernoulliDistribution).

The test statistic for a sign test (SignTest(Double)) is distributed according to the Binomial distribution.
