It is cumulative when you add together the probabilities of all events resulting in the given number or fewer successes.
When you add together the probabilities of all outcomes in which the number of successes is equal to or fewer than the given number.

what are the uses of binomial distribution
what is meant by a negative binomial distribution what is meant by a negative binomial distribution
You distribute the binomial.
When the event of interest is a cumulative event. For example, to find the probability of getting three Heads in 8 tosses of a fair coin you would use the regular binomial distribution. But to find the probability of up to 3 Heads you would use the cumulative distribution. This is because Prob("up to 3") = Prob(0 or 1 or 2 or 3) = Prob(0) + Prob(1) + Prob(2) + Prob(3) since these are mutually exclusive.
The skew binomial distribution arises when the probability of a particular event is not a half.
Normal distribution is the continuous probability distribution defined by the probability density function. While the binomial distribution is discrete.
First i will explain the binomial expansion
It is necessary to use a continuity correction when using a normal distribution to approximate a binomial distribution because the normal distribution contains real observations, while the binomial distribution contains integer observations.
Poisson and Binomial both the distribution are used for defining discrete events.You can tell that Poisson distribution is a subset of Binomial distribution. Binomial is the most preliminary distribution to encounter probability and statistical problems. On the other hand when any event occurs with a fixed time interval and having a fixed average rate then it is Poisson distribution.
Binomial distribution is the basis for the binomial test of statistical significance. It is frequently used to model the number of successes in a sequence of yes or no experiments.
Use the continuity correction when using the normal distribution to approximate a binomial distribution to take into account the binomial is a discrete distribution and the normal distribution is continuous.
