Exact Binomial Test
The exact binomial test is used with binomial data to assess whether the data are likely to have come from a distribution with a specified proportion parameter p. Binomial data are data representing a certain number k of successes out of n trials, where observations occur independently with probability p of a success (such as with coin toss data).
