Simulates one value from a binomial distribution with parameters
size (the number of independent Bernoulli trials) and prob
(the probability of success on any given trial).
Arguments
- size
An integer scalar. The number of trials.
- prob
A numeric scalar. The probability of success on each trial.
Value
A numeric scalar: the simulated number of successes in size
trials.
