Which of the following best describes the binomial probability distribution?
A) If is a probability distribution that shows the probabilities associated with possible values of a discrete random variable when these values are generated by sampling without replacement and the probability of success, therefore, changes from one trial to the next.
B) It is a probability distribution that shows the probabilities associated with possible values of a discrete random variable when these values equal the number of occurrences of a specified event within a specified time or space.
C) It is a probability distribution that shows the probabilities associated with possible values of a discrete random variable that are generated by a binomial experiment.
D) It is a probability distribution that shows the probabilities associated with possible values of a continuous random variable that are generated by a binomial experiment.
E) None of these.

The binomial probability distribution is specifically associated with outcomes from a binomial experiment, which involves a fixed number of independent trials with only two possible outcomes (usually labeled success and failure) and a fixed probability of success on each trial. The distribution shows the probabilities associated with possible numbers of successes in a given number of trials, making it a discrete probability distribution.
