          For this distribution the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_variate" target="_top">random
          variate</a> is k: the number of successes observed. The probability
          density/mass function (pdf) is therefore written as <span class="emphasis"><em>f(k; n, p)</em></span>.
