I'm taking a self paced class through the mail. I'm working on a rough draft of this topic: "Identify three roles that the Binomial Theorem plays in probability and statistics." I started down the path of exploring Combinations, Permutations, and Probability. I got a good draft worked up and submitted it and it was promptly shot down 
The teacher told me to think more of "How can the binomial theorem be used to address specific problems?" I thought I was heading down the right track. This is supposed to be related to Probability and Statistics. Are there some similar roles that aren't completely confusing and complicated?
I understand how the Binomial Theorem works just fine. When I Googled and cross matched Binomial Theorem with Probability and Statistics...I often saw Combinations, Permutations, and Probability, so I headed that direction. When I further explored Binomial Theorem's "roles", I started finding things that are way, way over my head. Stuff related to electrical engineering and other odd ball stuff that I had no clue what they're talking about.
