The Poisson binomial distribution is a generalization of the binomial distribution. It is used to model the number of successes in a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials, where each trial can have a different probability of success. In contrast, the binomial distribution assumes that each trial has the same probability of success. ### Key Characteristics: 1. **Independent Trials**: The trials are independent of each other.
