Which of the following best describes the logic of the binomial function?
A)the first part counts the number of ways in which exactly x successes in n trials can occur while the second part computes the probability of each of the ways in which the x successes can occur
B)the first part counts the number of ways in which exactly n successes in x trials can occur while the second part computes the probability of each of the ways in which the n successes can occur
C)the first part computes the probability of each of the ways in which the x successes can occur while the second part simply counts the number of ways in which exactly x successes in n trials can occur
D)the first part computes the probability of each of the ways in which the n successes can occur while the second part simply counts the number of ways in which exactly n successes in x trials can occur
E)none of the above

The binomial function is structured such that the first part (usually represented by a combination formula) calculates the number of distinct ways x successes can occur in n trials, and the second part (the product of probabilities) determines the probability of each of these ways happening.
