Detailed Description

This class is a simple helper that embeds probability functionalities for a binomial distribution.

Two parameters for this class: NumberOfExperiments and ProbabilityOfSuccess

The class uses the Boost library (http://www.boost.org/) to retrieve the binomial coefficients needed for the calculation of the Mass function of a binomial distribution.

Note that for high value of N (typically N > 100), the binomial distribution is approximated to a Normal distribution.

The main method to retrieve the Mass function is GetProbabilityMassFunction() taking the number of successes as parameter

You can set the two parameters
