Perhaps it is when a binomial probability distribution is called for?

A binomial experiment has TWO possible outcomes. Count'em -- 2.

Bush vs. Gore

Who DID you vote for?
Whoever you voted for, for whom was your vote counted.

Two from which to choose.

You can think up examples all day long.

If there is ONLY one attempt at it, it may be called a Bernoulli Trial.

Tkhuny, thank you again!

Now I am learning Bernoulli Trial, too. My God!

Is there any easy to study book(s) or article on these topics?
